Five generous helpings of the food of the southern states of America, served nightly by Russell Davies.

According to one observer, the only thing that glues the deeply divided South together is the bland cornmeal mush known as grits. Russell Davies locates the grits capital of the world in South Carolina, discovers the secrets of cornbread straight from the skillet, and enters a heated debate: how do you fry a runnin', scratchin', corn-fed chicken?

From Evita to Woody Allen 's forthcoming Everyone Says I Love You, the musical film is enjoying something of a comeback. This week's new release, Grace of My Heart, is set in the late fifties, the golden age of American pop, and features music written by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach. But what makes a successful marriage between music and film? Tony Palmer looks at the tricky relationship between sound and celluloid. Plus Verdi in the townships - Amanda Hopkinson reports from South Africa on one man's mission to integrate European opera with the traditions of African singing. She talks to the composers, singers and writers attempting to create a new form of opera for contemporary African culture.
