with Judith Hann
There may be no simple elixir of youth, but how far does getting your food right help keep ageing at bay? Wendy Richard favours a vegetarian diet; Lulu goes for plenty of fresh food; Audrey Eyton is the queen of high fibre; and Dave Lee Travis swears by getting your convenience-food eating habits right. But do any of their ideas stand up to scientific scrutiny? Judith Hann , herself just turned 40, in the last of four programmes finds out what the experts say is the best we can do to stay young.

Presented by John Tusa
Two names that shaped Britain in two World Wars.
Secrets of the Kaiser
The private papers of Germany's last Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, uncover his secret life. In public the figurehead of swaggering Prussian militarism, in private a manic personality obsessed with fantastical schemes for himself and Germany.
Christopher Andrew reports. Sir William Beveridge
If D-Day was the moment victory over Hitler began, it was Beveridge who gave the vision of the new world for which Britain was fighting. His report established the system of social security in Britain. He was known as the father of the welfare state. In 1984, as the entire system comes under government scrutiny, John Tusa examines the most influential blueprint for Britain this century.

Kansas City
Jonathan King finds that Kansas City is not a pretty city. But it is an interesting one - half in Missouri, the other half in the state of Kansas, each with its own set of laws. It is the traditional home of jazz, a former cow town, the place where millions of greetings cards are produced and the city where Walt Disney learned to draw. In the nuclear shocker The Day After it was almost totally destroyed. That was fiction - in reality Jonathan discovers only some cows have disappeared.
