A series that follows the fortunes of entrepreneurs around the world. Space Salvage
This coming weekend, if the space shuttle stays on schedule, American astronauts might save
Lloyd's underwriters tens of millions of dollars.
Stephen Merrett and Richard Maylam specialise in the high-risk business of satellite insurance. Last February two satellites they'd insured spun off into useless orbit. Maylam paid up; but Merrett decided on an extraordinary plan - to have the space shuttle rescue the satellites and bring them back to earth. This is the inside story of nine months of delicate negotiation and calculated risk-taking that promises to be a dramatic space rescue. Narrator Hugh Sykes

... of documentary The Happy Medium
Doris Stokes , Spiritualist superstar, has publicly demonstrated to the satisfaction of many thousands that there is life after death, and that we can contact those who have 'passed over'. At private sittings, in Spiritualist churches, in theatres and cinemas, the homely
65-year-old medium chatters away to the dead as if they were her next-door neighbours. Doris Stokes is not clairvoyant - she doesn't see things, become possessed or go into a trance. She claims to be clairaudient - like a radio receiver tuning in to the other side, picking up the voices of the dead, and passing on their messages to the living.
The sceptic will undoubtedly detect some sleight of hand, but to her followers (mostly women) who are shattered by grief, and who have failed to come to terms with bereavement by more conventional forms of religion or philosophy, Doris Stokes brings good tidings of comfort and joy, and a more solid contentment than can be purchased with a bottle of tranquillisers.
