Among the guests tonight is Graham Kerr , the "galloping gourmet", celebrating his return to television after 15 years (his series Graham Kerr is shown on Monday afternoons in most ITV regions). In the 70s, he was probably the best-known TV cook in the world, never without a glass in his hand ("just a quick slurp") and a double entendre on his lips. Now, after a serious car accident (ironically, involving a lorryload of vegetables), he's become a born-again Christian, and a born-again believer in healthy eating. * STEREO
A special edition of the popular science magazine, from Berlin. To bring the once-divided city in from the cold, scientists from the former east and west sectors are collaborating on projects straight from the realms of sci-fi. Bacteria that eat rubbish, the development of a fishy slime to speed up torpedoes, a boat that flies and a journey, via virtual reality, to an underground station that closed 30 years ago, are some of the discoveries made by presenters Judith Hann , Kate Bellingham and John Diamond. Producers Judith Bunting and Richard Dale

The final programme in the current series of investigative documentaries. Suicide Killers. The Tamil
Tigers of Sri Lanka are one of the most ruthless groups of independence fighters in the modern world. The Indian authorities believe that
Rajiv Gandhi , killed in May this year, fell victim to a Tamil Tiger suicide bomber. Many members of the group are willing to take part in suicide attacks, and a large number of the frontline fighters are just young boys and girls.
Inside Story talks to the Tigers' leaders and to those who are prepared to kill themselves for the cause. What motivates their
"fanatical" commitment and why would they have wanted to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi ? ProducerStephen Lambert
Executive producer Paul Hamann
