Papa Wojtyla
First in a three-part series On 16 October 1978, Karol Wojtyla , the Cardinal
Archbishop of Krakow in Poland, was elected to the papacy. He was the youngest pope in a century and the first non-Italian in 450 years. He chose the name John Paul n.

Papa Wojtyla goes behind the public face of the papacy to discover the human being. You Could Steal Horses with Wojtyla ...
The behind-the-scenes story of how Wojtyla came to be elected, while at the same time tracing his early life and career. Wojtyla himself talks to Richard Denton about his late vocation and his own response to his election. Photography REX MAIDMENT Sound RON BROWN

Fit for Life
Dr Michael O'Donnell investigates the ageing process, attempting to get at the truth behind our preconceptions of a slow but inevitable decline. There seems to be no reason why most of us shouldn't lead an active life well into our 90s, providing of course, that we choose the right parents - and put in a lifetime's preparation.
