War and Medicine
Eureka visits the Punjabi border war of 1849, the Franco-Australian war of 1792 and the Crimean War of 1853. But the inventions connected with those conflicts were hardly as dangerous as the beginnings of the hypodermic needle, the pressure cooker and Wilf Lunn 's alternative inventions.
All other inventors and characters played by the company, with WILFRED MAKEPEACE LUNN as the Doctor of Alternative Invention

featuring The Stan Tracey Big Band

In the fifth of six visits to the Bath Festival, BBC2 once again joins Radio 3 for a simultaneous broadcast of one of the highlights from the festival's ambitious jazz programme.
Stan Tracey is one of Britain's most popular jazz composers and arrangers. Tonight he leads 14 of Britain's most talented instrumentalists in A Tribute to The Duke
Part 1 of a concert of music composed and inspired by Duke Ellington, featuring original compositions by Tracey himself and familiar Ellington standards, including the much-loved 'Mood Indigo'.
(In association with Milburn's Restaurant)

A simultaneous broadcast with Radio 3. Viewers with stereo Radio 3 may wish to turn off TV sound and position their speakers on either side of the screen, but a few feet away. Stereo headphones provide a suitable alternative.
(Part 2 of the concert can be heard on Radio 3 at 10.45)
