Douglas Botting is one of the few people to have seen Siberia, which takes up nearly a tenth of all the land on earth, from the far north - where the tribesmen herd their reindeer across a vast desert of snow - to the industries and research establishments further south. This is the new Siberia; the living's still hard but the wages are high and some people now go there willingly.

Lindisfarne
The Top Ten Geordie group sing some of their own songs, including 'All fall down' - a broadside at urban planners with a special message for the city of Newcastle.

Tyneside Poetry
For the past seven years, Newcastle has provided an international centre for poets in the Mordern Tower, founded and run by poet Tom Pickard
Tonight Pickard, Tony Harrison, Jon Silkin and Rodney Pybus read and talk about their work with the audience.

10.0 La Creation du Monde
Andre Previn pays his second visit as guest conductor of the Northern Sinfonia, to direct a performance of Darius Milhaud's 1923 ballet score for 18 players.

Jobling at Jarrow
Vince Rea, founder of the only gallery on Tyneside entirely devoted to serving local artists, introduces photographs and sculptures from the commemorative exhibition he has built around the myth of local hero William Jobling, a Durham miner gibbeted in 1832.

10.30 The Dividing Fence
A play specially written for Full House by Peter Terson

The True Life Story of Andy Capp
A film about the North East's best-known cartoon character, his creator Reg Smythe and the town of Hartlepools where they both come from. Andy Capp now appears in 42 countries and in 13 languages. Despite Andy's fame, Reg Smythe firmly resists any attempts to analyse him.

Plus prose readings from Syd Chaplin, Tom Pickard with Paul Jones, and Newcastle on film.
