Maggie Philbin and Howard Stableford return with a new series of the programme which features all the latest developments in science, technology and medicine.
This year Tomorrow's World has been to the People's Republic of China, where science is one of the new priorities. The series will be keeping an eye on preparations by NASA for next summer's relaunch of the shuttle. Closer to home work starts on the channel tunnel, Nelson's column gets a face-lift, and fish and chips celebrate their
125th birthday by becoming a healthier food.
And tonight; the French car that does a 100 miles to the gallon, and how in California they're preparing for the earthquakes they know will come - including one that's due this week!
