Solving three-dimensional trigonometry problems is a process of abstraction. The trees, cliffs, rivers and mountains commonly appearing in such problems have to be replaced by right-angled triangles. Once all the important information is assembled, sine, cosine and tangent will do the rest. Presented by NORMAN GOWAR (OU)

STEVE DAVIS is still the favourite to win this title for the second time even after the disaster of the first round last year when TONY KNOWLES caused the upset of the season, with his 10-1 victory. REX WILLIAMS or FRED DAVIS are the likely opposition. DENNIS TAYLOR will be hoping for a better result against SILVANO FRANCISCO than he achieved last year when, as the number five seed, he was beaten 10-7,in another shock result. DAVID vine introduces live coverage and highlights.

Do hospital doctors and patients speak the same language? This film tries to capture day-to-day life in two hospitals, particularly the ways in which language is used between doctor and patient, and doctor to doctor, as a way of sharing and restricting knowledge.

' Black Britons are suffering a discrimination and racial disadvantage deriving partly from a deep unconscious prejudice in the rest of the community, which we've not yet exposed and killed. I think it's true of almost everybody.' (LORD SCARMAN) ' An unintentional racism remains embedded in our culture and institutions - not least the school system. (BRENDA THOMSON) Bradford teacher)
A film which investigates the nature of British attitudes towards ethnic minorities, raising questions particularly about the role of schools in preparing the next generation for life in a multi-racial society.

Sixty Minutes to Meltdown
4.0 am, 28 March 1979: Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station, Pennsylvania. Alarms go off in the control room: within seconds, the world's most notorious nuclear power accident has begun. A leak develops in the cooling system: temperature and radiation levels begin to rise. For the next few hours operatives struggle frantically to understand what's happening and to prevent the nuclear cone from being uncovered. They fail, and it begins to melt. At the end of the day, they are left with a ruined nuclear power station, and a lot of unanswered questions. This film chronicles the minute-by-minute events of the TMI disaster in a dramatised hearing based on the various official inquiries and reports that followed it. It reveals a story of design faults, failures of communication and human error. Hearing the testimony one might conclude, as some did at the time. that Three Mile Island was an accident waiting to happen.
