On the eve of the anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a profile of the highest-ranking operational female officer in the RAF, Group Captain Joan Hopkins , a woman charged with the air defence of Britain. Under her command are the 500 men and women of RAF Neatishead. Set deep inside rural Norfolk, it is the most crucial radar station in the country, playing a key role in the security of NATO and defending the southern half of Britain from air attack.
A BBC documentary team was given a rare glimpse of her secret world - a world of shadowing and intercepting Soviet spy planes, a world of 'war games' by computer, practising for the day they hope will never come.

A six-part dramatisation of the life, work and ideas of Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis.
Written by Carey Harrison
Starring David Suchet as Sigmund Freud

London, 1939. The 83-year-old Freud is resigned to die in exile, but determined that the moment will be of his own choosing. Analysing his life one last time, he recalls the early years in Vienna when, as an ambitious young doctor, medicine seemed fatuous; his love-life frustrating; and experiments with cocaine threatened a career yet to begin.

continues BBC2's season of comedies from writer-director, Mel Brooks tonight starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder

Producer Max Bialystock hits on a guaranteed formula for financial success on Broadway: to persuade his many elderly lady patrons to over-finance a play that will flop on its first night. After all, something as tasteless as a musical about The Nazi Party called 'Springtime for Hitler' could not possibly be a hit... could it? Zero Mostel as the producer for whom no money-making scheme is too undignified, and Gene Wilder as his accountant clutching at sanity and a security blanket, career at full speed through director Mel Brooks's outrageous script.
