Michael Newman visits a house perched on the clifftop at Zenor, only a stone's throw from Land's End. This is not a great stately home full of heirlooms handed down through the years, but a period 1930s bungalow, with a collection of antiques that has been assembled by one man. Eric Quayle lives with his Japanese wife, three young children, a pond full of Cornish trout and over 12,000 books - some rare, some famous and some infamous! Director MIKE BOW

1978: the usual conflicts and jealousies of a Pennsylvania High School are overshadowed when their mysterious principal, Jay Smith is arrested by the police. A discovery of drugs, pornography and guns in his cellar begins an investigation for multiple murder which keeps coming back to the same point - the passionate and charismatic English professor Bill Bradfield , Smith's colleague and staunchest supporter.

David Dimbleby tells the story of the impassioned, often bitter, debate that raged in the United States over whether America should get involved in another
European war. It ended the night the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and Churchill, as he put it, 'slept the sleep of the saved'.
