8:The Way of the Ancestors
' Sulawesi is the island we used to call Celebes, one of the 3,000 islands of Indonesia. It's in the mountains of central Sulawesi that you find the land of the Torajas.
' When I asked other Indonesians what they knew about the Torajas, they listed: ancestors in star-ships coming from the sky, black magic, headhunting, and great, elaborate funerals.'

Stamps
For many collectors postage stamps aren't just a juvenile hobby, but an excellent investment. Unfortunately, rare stamps not only attract high prices, but also the sinister skills of fakers and forgers, and ironically some of the rarer fake stamps today command prices almost as high as the genuine originals which they imitate. In tonight's programme John Fitzmaurice Mills investigates this phenomenon and reveals the extraordinary story of one eminent philatelist whose whole life has been a constant battle with forgery.
