Join Terry live at the Television Theatre.

The last in a seven-part series about a journey of adventure with the Brothers Blair among the volcanic islands and coral reefs of the vast Indonesian archipelago.

Lorne and Lawrence Blair, two young Englishmen, journey 800 miles into the unmapped heart of Borneo - in search of a lost tribe of Punan Dyaks. On foot and in flimsy dugout canoes, they struggle through rapids, torrential downpours and quagmires. They are plagued by swarming bees, biting insects and blood-sucking leeches; then, when their food runs out, they are forced to survive on gibbon meat - blow-darted by their Dyak guides. At last they find the elusive 'dream-wandering' Punans, the free-moving guardians of the inner forest. The brothers are ritually tattooed with the symbol of Aping, the Punan 'Tree of All Life', and the shaman shows them in a dream how the tree unites all tribes of creatures and all races of men.

Hot Property
The property boom has brought with it a brand new crime - mortgage fraud. It involves estate agents, valuers and solicitors as well as ordinary purchasers, and it's happening both because mortgages are so easily available and because the bodies set up to monitor house sales seem unable to cope with the frantic buying market.
Robin Denselow reports from London and Birmingham, where house prices have risen by 50 per cent this year, and where building societies and financial institutions are buying up strings of estate agents. Will the arrival of the powerful new player clean up the property market or just bring new problems?
