It's summer 2006, and what began as a pleasant sunny spell has developed into a meteorological nightmare. For two weeks, Britain has been in the grip of record high temperatures - transport is in chaos, tinder-dry conditions have sparked fierce countryside fires and thousands are dying in the blistering heat. This dramatised documentary tells the sobering story of a natural disaster that has its precedent in Europe's deadly heatwave of 2003, as witnessed by ordinary people and public servants battling to contain a crisis.

1/3. For better or worse, high-rise structures have transformed the world's cities, with skyscrapers a particularly potent symbol of a booming economy. Alan Yentob discovers how advances in technology in the early 20th century - combined with rivalry, wealth, power and ego - fuelled spectacular construction projects in New York and Chicago, including the Art Deco Chrysler Building, the Chicago Tribune tower competition and the iconic Empire State Building.

Unusual comedy mystery starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley, and featuring Peter Cook - a twist on Conan Doyle's original detectives, with Dr Watson as the master sleuth and Sherlock Holmes as his inept sidekick. When a Treasury printing plate is stolen, the oddball duo set out to foil the felons. Review page 56.
