What will the writers from the Tyne make the frozen heart of Russia and Novosibirsk, the Siberian capital, a place further away from Moscow than London? It was once the centre of the Soviet empire's nuclear research programme, a place where secrets were jealously guarded and completely closed to westerners until a decade ago. The Communists may no longer be in power but, as the writers discover for themselves, appearances can be deceptive. Producer Caroline Beck
