Japan and the Legacy of the Samurai
Narrated by Julian Pettifer
5: The World in a Bowl of Tea In the 14th century the recently imported fashion of tea drinking offered an excuse for exuberant parties, but by 1600 it had developed into a semi-religious ritual, performed in an atmosphere of refined simplicity. In the tea room, the 'Abode of Fancy', emphasis was placed on irregularity and incompleteness, the avoidance of decoration and, above all, harmony with nature. Within such surroundings, it was believed, there could be harmony among men.

At 1.54 pm on 21 November 1783 two courageous
Frenchmen became the first human beings to fly. They rose silently above the rooftops of Paris in a richly decorated paper balloon. Their name - Montgolfier. Their achievement astonished the world. Now anything seemed possible. Last year the French launched replicas of the balloons that made history in 1783 -and played host to balloonists from all over the world who came to celebrate 200 years of flight.

Jimmy Edwards
Where there's Jim, there's brass! Lots of it in the shape of his tuba, trombone and a brass band.
In what he describes as 'a mish-mash of music and memories', he recalls his schooldays, his undergraduate days, wartime service, his big break in the popular radio show Take It From Here, and his many successes on stage and television.
Recorded at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne, featuring the Aldershot Brass Ensemble and the British All Stars Trad Band Sound BARRIE HAWES

Will it ever be possible to repair our brains? So far this has proved impossible, but new research is causing brain scientists to feel that at last progress is beginning to be made.

In Sweden, two patients suffering from Parkinson's disease have had cells from their own adrenal glands transplanted into their brains - and more transplant operations are to follow. In animals, living tissue has been successfully transplanted into their brains to treat failing memory. "Horizon" reports on the latest research which one day might lead to the solution of one of the greatest challenges in medical science.
