Michael Newman visits a house perched on the cliff top at Zennor, only a stone's throw from Land's End. This is not a great stately home full of heirlooms handed down through the years, but a period 30s bungalow with a collection of antiques that has been assembled by one man. Eric Quayle lives with his Japanese wife, three young children, a pond full of Cornish trout and over 12,000 books - some rare, some famous and some infamous! Director MIKE Bow

Britain's advertising industry is currently encouraging participation in a consumer boom fuelled by record levels of credit. Why are people choosing to buy more and get further into debt? Are they being seduced by the advertisers' imagery into worshipping the false gods of status and possession? Is the conspicuous consumerism of the 80s evidence of a more successful lifestyle or of an insecure, dissatisfied and godless society? Rabbi Julia Neuberger is joined by The Rt Rev David Jenkins , Bishop of Durham,
David Abbott , advertising executive, Ann Andrews , who works at the first money advice centre, and Andrew Alexander, City Editor of the Daily Mail, to discuss whether our spiritual and communal values are being smothered in a tide of materialism.
