Alaska - Oil on the Rocks
Tomorrow the captain of the Exxon Valdez stands trial in America for a disaster which is still killing Alaskan wildlife and polluting the image of American oil companies.
Robin Denselow reports on the oilmen who want to keep cheap oil flowing by exploiting America's last wilderness - an Arctic refuge for polar bear and caribou - and on the growing number of people who say the price is too high for America's largest and wildest state.

Leicester - Always the Same Cartoonist Bill Tidy takes a close look at one of the cities chosen by judges in the It's My City! competition because of the strength and number of excellent community projects.
His quest - to find out more about the secret of this city, positioned at the centre of England and, somewhat surprisingly, quietly leading the way in the rebirth of our cities. Just what, says Bill, is it about this city that he calls 'the Switzerland of Britain'!
His search takes him to meet a gang of kids who spent a weekend on the canal, some 'rat eyes' whose lives have been transformed by going back to school, and to examine some unknown treasures of the city, not all from the West.

How to Cut Down
The last programme in the series presented by Gaz Top and Dr Marsha Morgan.
From a pleasant apres-ski 'jolly up' to skid row - alcohol affects everyone's lives, directly or indirectly. In small measure it's a pleasant addition to the day, in large quantities it damages health and happiness. How can you learn to control it? What kind of example should be set for children? Should they be taught to drink in the same manner as they are taught to drive? Should everyone use a drink diary to ascertain the real level of consumption?
