The first of six programmes that lift the lid on the world of drink. Andrew Jefford
goes back in time to ancient Egypt, where almost every house had its own brewery and beer was an integral part of almost every meal for everybody. In Southwold, Suffolk, he discovers how the rich traditions in British ale are being maintained in the face of market domination by bland homogeneous lagers. Producer Paul Kobrak

By David Calcutt.
With Alun Armstrong as Odysseus. On the island kingdom of Ithaca live the ageing Odysseus and his daughter Nausikaa. Afraid of no man, Odysseus is haunted by one vision - that of death itself. Believing himself to be invincible, he is only brought face to face with his final adversary through the skill and determination of a blind poet and a young scholar, 500 years on. Mixing myth and reality, dreams and fantasy, the very art of storytelling takes its toll on the human soul and changes the truth for ever.
Music composed and performed by John Themis and Sugar Hajishacalli Directed by Kate Rowland
