With small cars at £1,000 and the threat of petrol prices going up to fl a gallon, which new car is the best buy? Foreign makes now account for nearly a third of new cars sold here.

Tuareg
Narrator JIM DOUGLAS HENRY
For 1,000 years the veiled Tuaregs controlled the Sahara. Aristocra tic, nomadic ... they raided into, west Africa, taking captives to work their oasis gardens and tend their flocks.
In five years they have suffered the final blow to their society - the disastrous drought which has pinned them down around the few remaining wells and made them dependent on massive international aid. Such aid cannot last indefinitely. If the drought continues, can the once-proud camel-master change his way of life and scratch a living from the soil?

"We have suddenly discovered our musical Mark Twain, Emerson and Lincoln all rolled into one" (Leonard Bernstein)

Charles Ives was born in Danbury, Connecticut, on 20 October 1874 and influenced by the sounds of marching bands, circus parades and camp prayer meetings. He was also a genuine Yankee eccentric. He once said : ' Are my ears wrong? No one else seems to hear it the same.' And to his music copyist he pleaded: ' Please don't try and clean it up; the wrong notes are the right ones!'

Tonight's centenary tribute features a typical cross-section of the music of a nutty but profound composer, performed by: Yonty Solomon (piano)
The Ives Choir of Keele University Director Peter Dickinson with John Pattinson (piano) Meriel and Peter Dickinson (mezzo-soprano and piano) BBC Symphony Orchestra leader Bela Dekany conducted by Pierre Boulez
