This week Michael Newman visits one of the most extraordinary houses in the south west. In 1790 two determined and inspired spinsters conceived and built A La Ronde which, as the name implies, is an almost circular building. More unusual than that is the tradition of the house passing in an almost unbroken female line of descent.
The decorations, antiques and heirlooms reflect a decidedly feminine outlook. Director MIKE BOW

A two-part mini-series based on the true account of one of the longest legal battles in Australian history. Starring
1: Kyneton, Victoria, 1945
On a cold winter's morning two women give birth to baby girls within seconds of each other in the labour ward of the town hospital. Thus begins a sequence of events that leads to an extraordinary life for the two children and calamity for their parents as the two mothers become involved in a personal and legal battle because of the conviction of one that she has been given the wrong baby. But no one could have anticipated the tragic events that are to follow as the courts try to unravel the full facts of what happened and render a judgment that would have taxed even Solomon as they attempt to decide - whose baby?

First in a four-part series on the life and works of Ernest Hemingway, compiled from contemporary film with recollections of his friends and relatives and his own words.
A quarter of a century after his death Ernest Hemingway remains one of the giants of American literature. His life, like his books, seemed centred on violence. He was a big-game hunter and an aficionado of the bullfight.Ã He thrilled to the excitement of war and he died by his own hand as his father had done before him.
Born in Oak Park, Illinois, he had an idyllic childhood around the woods of mid-Western America. In 1918 he joined the American force fighting in Italy, the experiences of which he was later to describe in A Farewell to Arms. It was there that he fell in love for the first time with the nurse who helped him back to recovery from a horrifying, near-fatal, shrapnel wound - only to be rejected by her a few months later.

with Moira Stuart ; Weather
Have we chosen to elevate infidelity from recent sin to modern virtue? There can be little doubt that over. the last 25 years attitudes towards infidelity have been transformed. What was once the ultimate social stigma is now widely accepted as, at worst, an unfortunate necessity and, at best, as a statement of honesty and independence.
Yet for the majority of people, regardless of religious conviction, sexual orientation or marital status, fidelity remains the ideal, if not the practice, of shared lives.
Rabbi Julia Neuberger asks Dr David Delvin ,
Fraser Harrison , Dr Theodore Davey and Fay Weldon whether choosing to be unfaithful can ever be more than selfishness or whether it can be a responsible choice to make for the good of your emotional health.
