A series in six parts 2:The Nile
Brian Thompson sits in a wind-blown tent in Juba, deep in the heart of Sudan. A local magician predicts a journey by boat. Outside his front door runs the longest river in the world - the Nile. His journey takes him across the eerie emptiness of the Sudd - a quarter of a million square miles of floating swamp.
From the simple cabins of the mail packet Kerbekan to the comfort and antics of a fancy dress party on board a luxurious floating hotel. By bus across a seemingly infinite desert to the splendour of Luxor and Karnak where once the streets were paved with gold. Written and presented by BRIAN THOMPSON

The Unipart British
Professional Championship If the seeding system is correct, the cream of the darts world will be in action tonight in the last three quarter-finals. The first match should feature the 'canny' character JOCKY WILSON (No 5 seed), twice winner of this championship and No 4 seed BOB ANDERSON , racing up the rankings after winning this year's Danish and Swedish Opens. It promises to be a cracker, providing they both succeed in the previous two rounds. Remember, the best of nine sets, three legs per set.

Education is back at the top of the political agenda - and that's because it's in a mess. Parents are worried about unemployment; employers say the school leavers don't have what it takes. The Government is responding by giving parents more power and by introducing a national programme of technical and vocational teaching. But critics say such measures don't add up to a policy. What's needed is a national strategy for state secondary education to replace the piecemeal remedies and underfunded initiatives.
Chris Patten, MP, Education Minister, joins Peter Taylor in the studio to face the Brass Tacks audience.
