Sweet Solutions
Tonight's Horizon visits Brazil, original home of the sugar business, where surplus cane is already being put to surprising new uses on the streets of Sao Paulo. By 1980 Brazil will have 20 per cent of her cars running on alcohol - distilled from sugar. It's a project planned to cut down expensive oil imports and to create new jobs in the run-down North-East, whose appalling poverty is the legacy of sugar slavery. Furthermore, sugar-cane is a highly efficient solar energy trap. It could well become the feedstock for European chemical industries when oil runs out. Narrator RAY MOORE

Arena presents The Agony and the Ecstasy of Edna Everage

In this, the first-ever exclusive Arts Documentary about a living legend, our cameras probe and etch the enigma which is Dame Edna. Meet her in the privacy of her fabulously appointed penthouse suite atop the Dorchester Hotel, London, W1. Witness the fabled finale of her current West End hit, A Night with Dame Edna. Visit her Melbourne home suburb, Moonee Ponds, now a national monument... and suffer with her the tears, terror and triumph as she claws her way to the top.

Dame Edna talks fearlessly about her fame, her wealth and her humility, whilst wearing no less than ten unique couturier-simulated gowns. And much, much more.

Dame Edna Everage is a division of the Barry Humphries group.

A series of eight programmes
In these programmes people are invited to give first-hand accounts of something that has real personal significance for them. 4: Wrestling with God
'Let me through, and I will serve you.' This was the prayer that Professor Ulrich Simon breathed to the God he did not know as he was fleeing Germany in 1933. He tells of his struggle to keep his side of this contract and how he found a helpful parallel in the Old Testament story of Jacob.
