On Easter eve 387 - exactly 1,600 years ago - the Public Orator of Milan, a brilliant philosopher called Augustine, was baptised by Bishop Ambrose.
In this sequel to One August in Milan, which re-created the story of Augustine's early life up to his conversion, the career of the new convert is traced through his return to North Africa and his reluctant ordinations as priest and bishop, to the final years of his life, when the heathen hordes swept across the Roman
Empire, eventually reaching the city of Hippo, where the scholar-bishop lay dying.

A series of five programmes Presented by Anthony Smith 3:Power and Responsibility
The Balbina dam in the Amazon Basin is due to flood an area the size of Devon, to provide hydro - electricity insufficient to power the nearest town. Within cable distance is an even bigger installation, using only a fraction of its power capacity as there is no demand for the electricity it produces.
Anthony Smith visits some of the most threatening projects in the Amazon Basin, and examines the motives of their Brazilian developers.
