Caravaggio was the first incarnation of a favourite myth of art: the violent outsider who bursts the conventions and suddenly changes the language. His life is one of the most colourful in the history of art - and he was often painting on the run.
Robert Hughes recreates the lonely and violent life and death of Caravaggio through his art. Written and narrated by ROBERT HUGHES

Shipping fraud is one of the world's fastest-growing international crimes. Take a loaded ship out to sea; fake a fire; sell the cargo; change the name on the ship; claim the insurance. It's a crime where each year hundreds of millions of pounds are syphoned off into the hands of a few highly-organised gangs.
The Money Programme reporters investigate some recent cases and look at what the police and insurance brokers are doing to prevent marine fraud.

Hugh Gaitskell
The Lost Prime Minister
HUGH GAITSKELL was the only Leader of the Opposition in more than 40 years never to become Prime Minister. On the eve of the Labour Party Conference Anthony Howard looks at the imperial origins, intellectual force and appeal of a man who could have changed the course of British history if he had ever reached Number 10.
What then was the Gaitskell legacy? Evaluating it - and recalling the life and stormy career of the man who often seemed to be fighting his own party just as fiercely as his political opponents - are his widow Baroness Gaitskell his sister Lady Ashton, Lord Boyle The Rt Hon Michael Foot, MP The Rt Hon Roy Jenkins and Lord Shinwell.

starring Peter Sellers , Ringo Starr Limitless wealth and a fiendishly eccentric sense of humour allow Sir Guy Grand to indulge his bizarre mission - to upset as much of respectable society and the 'Establishment' as possible. Targets include Sotheby's, the Oxford-Cambridge boat-race, smart restaurants and finally a luxury cruise on the Magic Christian which he reduces to chaos. An all-star cast has been assembled for this extravagantly vulgar version of Terry Southern's anarchic novel.
