Home for the Humber Lifeboat crew, as it has been for 150 years, is Spurn Point. At the tip of the point, past the lighthouse, at the end of a four-mile road, stand the houses of the lifeboat crew.
Spurn's position makes it especially vulnerable to the winds and tides of the North Sea. Five times in its history it has been washed away. Written and narrated by Brian Thompson.

What do a 'kissogram' girl, a trainee Royal Naval Officer, a woman engineer, two PhD chemists and a Sikh student of homoeopathy have in common? Answer: seven years ago, as teenagers doing O-levels in science, they were all filmed by "Horizon" as they travelled round Britain to explore possible future careers.

Now "Horizon" has retraced these six very different people and filmed them again to see whether their hopes of a career in science have been realised. How have their ideas and impressions changed since 1978 - and what have been the biggest influences on their lives and work now they have come of age?

How Glorious is the Garden? Tonight Arena and Newsnight join forces to mount a major studio debate between the embattled factions of the arts world. 'The Glory of the Garden' was the Arts Council's blueprint for a redistribution of its grants favouring regional centres over
London. Now a head-long battle has developed between those administering funds and those who are the beneficiaries.... or the losers. The National Theatre has threatened 100 redundancies, and the Cottesloe could go dark in April. The English National Opera sees its programme in jeopardy. The Council's Literature
Department narrowly escaped the axe, and half of the drama panel have resigned. In this atmosphere of open warfare, how can the garden grow? Will judicial pruning turn into total devastation? Has the Arts Council, in the words of its critics, 'betrayed the arts and lent itself to party politics' or have just and sensible policies become the target for partisan hysteria? Tonight the council confronts its critics. Introduced by John Tusa and Joan Bakewell.
