Starring William Shatner as Captain James T Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr McCoy

Jim Kirk's reunion with an old friend on the planet Neural turns into a dilemma when a warmongering Klingon presence is discovered. The choice for Kirk is stark: obey the Prime Directive of non-interference or help a beleagured tribe by becoming a gun-runner. (R)

First of eight programmes on the mammals of Britain, with Tony Soper.
On the whole, most animals are very wary of us humans. We hunt them, we kill them. In their turn, they avoid us; they are shy, they come out at night.
But most wild animals can be observed. In the New Forest Tony Soper watches badgers, and in Scotland hopes for his first glimpse of the rare pine marten.

A series of films about the way we live now. The Gift of Life with Nicholas Woolley
Tonight's specially-extended edition reveals in detail, for the first time, the dramatic human story of what would-be parents have to go through to have a test-tube baby. In October 1984 seven couples came to London's Hammersmith Hospital, where Robert Winston was the first consultant in Britain to offer IVF - fertilisation of the mother's egg by the father's sperm in a test-tube - on the NHS. This film follows what happened to them over the next year.
Sue [text removed], at 39, has been trying for a baby for ten years. She'd had a miscarriage, 18 operations and five previous attempts at IVF - privately. They had cost her and her husband
£7,000.
Dawn [text removed], a hairdresser from Middlesex, felt so guilty about not being able to give her Italian husband a child that her marriage nearly broke up.
Sharon [text removed], only 23, had nearly died during surgery after an ectopic pregnancy.
The odds were against any one of the seven women conceiving a child.
