David Dixon , Simon Jones Sandra Dickinson
Mark Wing-Davey , Richard Vernon 4: Arthur Dent is astonished to learn that the Earth was not what it had seemed, and astounded to learn that the small creatures he had called mice were not what they had seemed either. But he is quite put out to learn that they are after his brain, and that the pleasant dinner party with Ford, Zaphod and Trillian, is certainly not what it seems.

No One Will Take Me Seriously
Professor John Hasted believes he has demonstrated the existence of human para-normal powers under laboratory conditions.
Dr Harold Hillman thinks he can prove that the picture of the cell that biologists hold is merely an optical illusion produced by the electron microscope.
Professor Eric Laithwaite believes his experimental gyroscopes defy laws of gravity and motion.
The trouble is they can't get anyone to take them seriously, they are branded as scientific heretics.
At first glance science seems a rational business, but that is not always the case. There is a complex social structure designed to keep scientists on the rails. Be- cause there is more wrong thinking in science than breakthrough, radical ideas often get brutal treat- ment. Does gravity come in waves? Are quarks really free? How does an Einstein convince his colleagues he is right? Will one of our heroes be vindicated after all? Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN

A series of four programmes with Harold Evans
Editor, Sunday Times
2:All the news that fits
How is the daily torrent of news channelled into pages of a newspaper? Film sequences shot as the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Times went to press show how journalists and designers cope with the intense pressures of deadlines. HAROLD EVANS explains who is responsible for the way that papers look, and why British papers look so different from each other and from those in other countries.
