A series of seven programmes Narrated by Robert Winston

There's no really satisfactory treatment for the back pain that four out of five of us will suffer at some time in our lives.
We'll be told to stay in bed until the pain goes away. But Colin Sheldon has tried that. And after four weeks with the pain getting steadily worse, he welcomes the prospect of an operation-even though the surgeon has told him it couldn't return him to grade one fitness.

A Play for Bridport
One of the most spectacular and unlikely theatre events of last year took place a long way from the West End of London in the small Dorset town of Bridport. The Poor Man's Friend, written by playwright Howard Barker and performed by hundreds of towns-people, was the inspiration of Ann ellicoe, best known as the author of The Knack. During the past five years her ambition to create true community theatre has produced amazing results. HOWARD BARKER 'S play looks at the history of the town where in the 19th century the best hanging-rope was made and focuses on the dubious figure of Dr Roberts, inventor of the famous patent medicine known as ' The Poor Man's Friend'. Tonight Arena follows the making of the production, chronicling the scenes on and off the stage as the whole of Bridport becomes absorbed in telling a story from their past.
