Twentieth-century advances in mechanical and electrical services exerted a significant effect on the design of the buildings that contained them. English cinemas provide a splendid example of the interaction of such effects with the use of elaborate ornament.

The Challenge of the Ganga Narrated by Patrick Allen
When Sir Edmund Hillary planned a jet-boat expedition up the River Ganges-for millions the sacred heart of India - he knew he would find danger in the white waters of the upper reaches and a challenge in the final climb to its source in the Himalayas; but, as well, he found warmth and enthusiasm in the people of India as they thronged the banks in their thousands to honour this traveller on his pilgrimage up the holy Ganga.

A series of six programmes about Britain in the 1990s.
3: Inflation - the Deadly Poison
Professor Friedrich Hayek , Nobel Prize-winning economist, is much admired by the free marketeers on the right wing of the Cabinet. But he thinks that Britain still faces continually rising prices and far longer dole queues. ' Any inflation,' he says, ' is a deadly poison to be shunned at all costs.' Can Hayek's dismal prospect for the 90s be avoided? He says there is a remedy-but will any government dare to take it? PROFESSOR HAYEK'S ideas are questioned by Neil Kinnock , mp; Sir Leo Pliatzky , former Permanent Secretary at the Department of Trade; John Redwood , investment banker and Fellow of All Souls.

Events in the life and work of Fred Dibnah, Bolton steeplejack. 3: Uncalled-for Distractions
Summer brings Fred's work on his ancient steam-engine almost to a standstill. His new-found fame creates a demand for his presence at public events and for promoting causes from Barnardo's to beer drinking. Then, just when he thinks he might get a few days on his engine, his wife Alison demands a holiday, the first (steam rallies apart) since they eloped to Gretna Green some 15 years ago.
The family's week at B ackpool turns out quite differently from anything ever seen in a holiday advert.
