Parrot Fashion
Narrated by David Attenborough.
Alexander the Great, the Duchess of Richmond, Ernest Hemingway and Long John Silver - what do they have in common? All of them, in fact or fiction, were parrot fanciers.
Today the passion for parrots is stronger than ever. Pet parrots, performing parrots, talking parrots - when they're sharing our lives we treat them as honorary humans. But when we invade their territories we leave many of them perched on the edge of extinction. The fashion for parrots may give pleasure to a lot of people, but what does it do for the parrots?

Reporter Roisin McAuley
Latest Police figures show an increase in crimes of domestic violence, unmatched since records began.
One in four assaults is by a man on a wife or girlfriend. In London alone, a thousand battered women ask the police for help each week.
But why is this crime wave in the home allowed to go unchecked? It is a crime like any other say the Police. But despite huge increases in reporting assaults, only three in every hundred gets to trial. Panorama reports on Britain's hidden violent society and investigates how in Canada, the authorities have launched an all out assault on domestic violence. Should Britain learn the lessons?
Producer ROSALND ERSKINE Editor TIM GARDAM

starring and guest star
A Rock and a Hard Place
As Sonny tries to adjust to married life with a rock star, Caitlin's new-found success makes her the target of corrupt music executives and places Crockett's undercover guise and his life on the line.

'I'm just an average drinker....' is the typical comment in this country, but what does that mean? The answer can be anything from a small dry sherry to the 'eight pints of heavy and some tins to take home please!'. How much do you drink? And should you be worried about your level of consumption?
The programme offers advice for men and women on safe levels of consumption, and looks at what happens when we get drunk and suffer from a hangover, and the effects of regularly drinking over the recommended guidelines. If it all sounds rather boring, it's not - Rowan Atkinson , Griff Rhys Jones , Helen Lederer , Norman Lovett , Mike Smith and Sarah Greene provide the comedy, and Toyah Wilcox , Simon Bates and Sue Cook their comments on the best way to enjoy drink but avoid a headache.
