The third of four specials.
At some time in our lives, most of us want to see London, the nation's capital; we are justly proud of our heritage and take it for granted that we can go everywhere. But if you are disabled, it's a different story. Can you find an accessible hotel? Can you use the bus or tube? Can you enjoy the splendours of the Palace of Westminster in a wheelchair? Bill O'Hara is an amputee and he and his wife Annette spent two days as tourists in London as the guests of Does He Take Sugar? Their story is quite a revelation.
Presented by John Mills

The last of four programmes looking at film versions of famous novels
Wuthering Heights
Hollywood is a long way from the Yorkshire moors, and William Wyler 's Wuthering
Heights is very different from
Emily Bronte's - so different in fact that many critics have tended to dismiss it on the grounds that great books make bad movies. Christopher Cook considers what happens when a literary classic is adapted for the cinema, with soundtrack illustrations and readings from the book by Penelope Wilton. Producer WENDY CLAY
