For the first time since Berlin, 1936, the Olympic Games return to Germany - to Munich - this August; and the Germans are sparing neither effort nor money to make them spectacular. The city is spending a record 1200 million on the Games.
But could Europe's most powerful economy end up with a white elephant on its hands? This week the Money Programme reports on the Munich preparations.

Family Life
How 'normal' is normal family life? How much is it the cause of mental breakdown? What happens when people under stress go for psychiatric help?
Nobody can remain unaffected by these questions and they are the central issue of "Family Life" - the explosive and much publicised latest film by Tony Garnett and Ken Loach - the team that produced "Cathy Come Home". This week the film opens in cinemas outside London and tonight we take our cameras to the opening night in a Manchester cinema and confront the film makers with their audience.

Tom Stoppard
"Jumpers", premiered this week, is the second play Tom Stoppard has had produced at the National Theatre. When his first great success "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" was put on there, he was the youngest playwright to have a play enter their repertoire.
Tonight Review talks to the author of what promises to be an extraordinary new comedy - with Michael Hordern and Diana Rigg in scenes from the play.
