The Costains of Arbory
Throughout this year the Manx people have been celebrating 1,000 years of Tynwald, the worlds oldest continuous parliament, set up by the Vikings. One of Mann s distinctive families, descended from the Vikings, was inspired by these events to delve into its own roots. The Costains, centred in the parish of Arbory, in the south of the island, drew up a massive 30-foot-long family tree and by contacting relatives at home and abroad, soon raised the £1,000 needed to sponsor a family shield aboard Odin's Raven, the Viking ship specially built for a commemorative voyage from Norway to the Isle of Man.
Brian Trueman looks at the strength of family feeling that binds together farmers butchers, a psychiatrist, a computer analyst and a ship's engineer - all proud of the name Costain.

The First Americans
Where did the first Americans, the ancestors of today's Indians, come from? From Asia - according to most archaeologists today - across the landbridge of ice that then linked Siberia to Alaska. But when? And how long did it take these people, hunting on foot with Stone Age weapons, to people the new continent?
Dennis Stanford , of the Smithsonian institution, and Vance Haynes , of the University of Arizona, have been in the forefront of the debate on these questions which have been rumbling on in American archaeology. Though great personal friends, they disagree violently in their interpretation of the evidence of early man's presence in America. In the 1979 season they hoped to bring together clues from sites all over America and finally settle the debate.

Investigates, Discovers, Questions
This week: Storm Over Fastnet
On the night of the 13 and 14 of August this year, the great flotilla of yachts taking part in the Fastnet Race were overwhelmed by a storm in the Western Approaches.
By morning five yachts had sunk to the bottom, another 20 had been abandoned and 15 competitors had lost their lives.
Was there adequate warning of an approaching storm? Was it simply the storm's ferocity that caused so many failures-in boats, gear, safety equipment? Or were there faults in organisation, yacht design, seamanship? Why, above all, were so many lives lost and others placed in peril?
Jeremy James questions the issues arising from the official inquiry, scheduled to be published today, and gives some of the survivors a chance to tell their own stories of disaster and rescue.
