10: Luxemburg - Europe's Best Kept Secret
Surrounded by France,
Germany and Belgium, the size of Dorset, it is one of the three co-capitals of Europe. But the influx of Eurocrats and other immigrants has proved a mixed blessing to a country proud of its international success in banking and communications. Luxemburg is determined to retain its national identity, language and traditions.
Richard Mayne revisits the country where he lived and worked 30 years ago and talks to HRH Crown Prince Henri, statesmen, leaders of industry and commerce, young people, immigrants and Eurocrats to discover where Luxemburg feels itself to be in the European scene.

The Story of the Bristol Brabazon
On 4 September 1949, the world's largest land-operated airliner lumbered into the skies above Bristol for the first time. To those who worked on her she was 'the Brab'; to the press, 'the Queen Mary of the Air'; to posterity, little more than a giant white elephant.
Derek Robinson tells the story of how the plan to conquer the transatlantic air went wrong and how, after a decade of development, a village flattened to build the vast runway and with the hopes of the British aircraft industry pinned to her success, the Brabazon ended her life four years after that maiden flight as a heap of rotting scrap in Hounslow.
