2.0 Scene: We are Jewish
Fleeing the Nazi terror in Europe in 1939, many Jewish people came to Manchester, already the home of a large Jewish community. This film traces how these events affected one family, while their son describes his attitude to Jewish life and customs today. His future may include emigration to Israel, but do other young Jews share his beliefs?

from Luton, Bedfordshire
Presented by Geoff Hamilton and Clay Jones
An exposed site 600 feet above sea level frequented by grazing deer, and having poor chalky soil is not the most likely place to find a beautiful garden.
Danae Johnston 's half-acre garden, however, is full of interest - a Japanese corner, rock garden, pool and a unique sink garden. In these she has grown a wide range of plants and has specialised in creating effective foliage combinations.
If all this sounds expensive, it's not. Old tubs and baths serve as container gardens, old windows become cold frames while her propagating skills ensure a ready supply of new plants.

'This town ain't big enough for the both of us, stranger - I'm givin' you 24 hours to get out of here.' The stranger mysteriously left. That was two years ago.
But now he's back, looking for more trouble (and quirky stories) in the Wild West's Colorado. Yes, Jonathan (Lone Ranger) King rides again, stopping in Denver, where cattle ranching has been replaced by big business on the scale of Dynasty and Hub Cap Annies. JK also visits a new kind of cattle market - the singles bar, and meets top country star Kenny Rogers. There are brand- new videos and a clip from the latest US box office smash, The Money Pit.

Narrated by Robert Winston
When Stephen Agnew was mugged, a knife cut his carotid artery and jugular vein. Luckily the wound sealed itself, but he still has a life-threatening lesion in his neck.
A new surgical technique developed by Professor David Allison at the Hammersmith Hospital allows Stephen's wound to be operated upon from within his blood vessels.

The second of two programmes about fate and divine intervention Putting it Right
Do you believe in miracles? The Bishop of Durham does; so do pilgrims to the Orthodox shrine of Tinos in the Aegean. But are they talking about the same thing? Susan Crosland re-treads the mysterious ways of the Almighty and asks how you get his help: is it a matter of pulling a spiritual lever; is it given freely to encourage faith; or is it all in the eye of the beholder?
