Cooking the Elements
Most astronomers believe that the universe began with a big bang, perhaps 15,000 million years ago, and that all the familiar elements have since been built up out of the original hydrogen by being 'cooked' inside stars which have long since exploded. Patrick Moore talks to Dr John Beckman about the early days of the universe.

Chabot Solo
The last programme of an entertaining personal history of flying from Bleriot to Concorde told by a grand old aviator.
Back in the RAF at the age of 50, Chabot found that vertigo kept him from active service on the home front. Posted to South Africa to train recruits, Chabot's initiative led to improvements in the design of Mosquitoes. Much later, at the age of 85, he took over the controls of Concorde at twice the speed of sound.
Charles Chabot died in 1981, aged 91.
