Distant Voices
James Burke looks for clues that lead to one of the modern world's most indispensable inventions.
He asks: What's the connection between the Battle of Hastings and the muck that the Chinese found in pigsties, or between the invention of the barometer and the pleasures of the Electrico-Celestial Bed - and how does the result of those connections help prevent World War III? '

The Mind's Eye
On the retina, at the back of your eye, there is a sort of picture, and it is upside down. So if seeing was a simple matter of watching pictures in your head, you'd have to stand on your head to see the world normally.
Even more important, the 'picture ' is confused, ambiguous and in constant motion. Yet, as we move we know where we are, how we're moving, and we can describe the things we see.
The scientists have only just begun to unravel the mysteries of how we see lines, depth, colour and motion. The little they do know may turn your world upside down.

Feature p3

[Photo caption] Peter Snow says: 'If, like me you've felt there's been a growing need for a longer, more reflective look at our day's news on British television, then Newsnight is what you've been waiting for. It is the first time the BBC has combined its news and current affairs resources to provide this in-depth programme at a regular time at the end of the evening. Our task as Newsnight's team will be not just to present the news, but to analyse and illustrate the main stories of the day more thoroughly than ever before. Newsnight will use all the speed and diversity of television techniques in the 80s to bring viewers the more extended and perceptive coverage which they will be demanding.'

Tonight sees the start of a new news/current affairs programme presented by a regular team lead by Fran Morrison, Peter Snow, John Tusa, Charles Wheeler and Peter Hobday. Newsnight: 10.45
