by JONATHAN MILLER Sleight of Hand
Healing by the laying on of hands is probably as old as civilisation. Perhaps the most infamous practitioner of this was the Austrian healer Mesmer, whose name became synonymous with the vibrating trances of his wealthy 18th-century clients-even Mozart poked fun at his antics.
Jonathan Miller traces the history of this colourful technique including the medical cures of Christ, the so-called Royal Touch, and the effects of faith on modern medical treatment.

Veteran entertainer, known to generations of theatregoers as the rubberneck comic, Nat Jackley made his first stage appearance at the age of eight, when he teamed up with his father, George, the famous panto comedian.
Juvenile troupes, touring in Revue, years on the Variety Halls, specialist in panto Dame parts and recently straight parts in IV plays, Nat has done it all, and tonight he tells of his follies and fortunes during nearly 60 years in showbusiness.

3: On the Edge of Life
Peter Gibbs took off in a light aircraft from a field on the east coast of the island of Mull. He was going to make one circuit of the runway and return within minutes. He never did. Four months later his body was found on a hillside only about a mile away. He had died of exposure. His plane has never been found.
Tonight Ludovic Kennedy investigates the enigma left behind by the former fighter pilot with a reputation for dicing on the edge of life.
