Two decades ago, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered tanks into the Golden Temple at Amritsar to flush out extremists who had laid siege to the Sikhs' holiest shrine. Operation Bluestar left hundreds dead and parts of the temple complex ruined. The extensive restoration work is now close to completion and has been spearheaded by a Sikh community 8,000 miles away - in Birmingham. But work has run into a barrage of criticism from conservationists. With the Golden Temple nominated for World Heritage status, the BBC's South Asia correspondent Navdip Dhariwal goes to Amritsar to ask who is right. Producers Ashok Ahir and Jeremy Davies

Ghost Stories 3.30pm R4
John Connolly is a bestselling novelist of left-field, complex mysteries, with a proven love of the dark side - there being some extremely sinister and violent moments in his books. Rest assured that there is none of the violence in these five chilling stories across the week, but if you like to be unsettled then you're in for a treat, as each of the tales twists the classic ghost story in a modern macabre way. Alun Armstrong is the reader on Wednesday and Blake's 7 fans will be delighted to learn that Jacqueline Pearce (aka Servalan) will be reading Thursday's tale of a lady vampire. But the best of all is on this afternoon with The Inkpot Monkey. Freddie Jones has the perfect voice for this seriously sinister take on anthropomorphism and while I am not suggesting for one moment that he sounds like a monkey, he'll soon have your hair (be it primate or human) standing on end.

1/5. A series about the former lovers in our lives.
Breaking Up Is Hard to Do. "This is harder for me than it is for you," "It's all for the best in the long run," "I'm not ready for a commitment right now." How does one finish a relationship? People talk about how they have made the final break. Producer Sara Conkey

6/9. The Native Plants Are Restless. Alien plants grab the headlines. Whether they've escaped from gardens or been introduced accidentally, plants like Japanese knotweed are painted as villains, with huge amounts of money and time being spent trying to eradicate them.
