11: Breckland and Broads
Who would believe that East Anglia has its own desert? Yet in a way that is what the Breckland is. PROFESSOR WILLIAM HOSKINS asks how this came about, and compares this arid and little frequented part of East Anglia with the watery and popular landscape of the Broads.
A ravishing portrait of Breckland and the Broads. (DAILY MAIL) Film cameraman MIKE RADFORD Producer PETER JONES
An Arabian Voyage
Presented by John Mackenzie
Ask where the last British passenger ship on a year-round scheduled service survives and people, even in shipping circles, would be hard put to find a reply. The answer, surprisingly, is in the Arabian Gulf. For 32 years the Dwarka has been sailing one of the oldest and most romantic shipping routes in the world. She is an Imperial echo of the routes established throughout the East in the days of the British Raj. Producer BOB SAUNDERS

The Incas
Until their conquest by the Spanish in the 15th century, the Incas built up a 3,000-mile empire, with cities perched on mountain tops, irrigated terraces clinging to the sides, and a network of roads carved through some of the most difficult terrain in the world-all in less than a century.
Today archaeologists are digging behind the myths and legends that surround the Incas to discover how their enormous empire was actually run. Dr John Hyslop investigates the road system, probably the most extensive ancient road system in the world.
Dr Craig Morris studies the administrative centres and Dr Ann Ken dall excavates near the most spectacular of all Inca sites-Machu Pichu. But can their research do more than tell us about the Incas, can they also help to re-populate areas of Peru which once flourished, but where now only a few families live in extreme poverty?

The first of a series of seven programmes to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Presented by H. C. Robbins Landon ' The result of dire necessity '
HAYDN became the most popular composer the world had ever seen and one of the wealthiest. But he almost starved. He almost failed.
The story of how and why he succeeded is told by H. C. ROBBINS LANDON, who was inspired to make a lifelong study of the composer on being told, as a schoolboy, that 90 per cent of Haydn's music was not even published.
