A series in six parts 3: Eater of Men
Christina Dodwell, writer and explorer, spent two years living with the tribal peoples of Papua New Guinea. In the third programme in this BAFTA award-winning series, Christina returns to take a journey across the island - still one of the most remote places on earth. The trip culminates with a rafting expedition attempting the first descent of the dangerous Wahgi river. So treacherous are its rapids that locals call it the 'eater of men'. With good reason, as it turns out. Written and presented by CHRISTINA DODWELL

Prisoners in the Home
'I wanted my father filmed because I don't think people realise the extent of Alzheimer's disease - the effect it has on family and friends. I wonder how many people understand what life mum has, as she's a prisoner in her own home.'
At least 750,000 people in Britain suffer from
Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Most are looked after by relatives at home. 'It's like looking after a mentally subnormal 3-year-old child. How can you think of them as your husband? It's just someone that I've got to look after.'
Some of these carers use
Open Space to talk about their daily heartbreaks and struggles, and how a healthcare system never designed to cope with the problem of dementia has virtually imprisoned them at home. "The disease of the carer is enforced isolation. If that is allowed to get out of hand, the institutions just couldn't cope with the amount of people they'd have...'

The monthly literary magazine which looks at the best contemporary writing in Britain and abroad returns with presenter Ian Hamilton. A. N. Wilson is, at 36, the author of 14 books - novels, biographies and studies of his deeply-held religious faith. He is equally well-known as a young fogey and an unsparing literary critic. As Wilson's ninth novel, Love Unknown, appears and he renounces his reviewer's job, Ian Hamilton visits him at home in Oxford to test the truth of his public image, and to observe the curious contrast between the private life and the popular reputation of this much talked-about writer.
Joseph Brodsky was exiled from his native Russia in 1972. His poems had earned him five years of hard labour for corrupting youth. After two years in a Soviet labour camp, he was eventually released to the West. Brodsky now lives and works in America. On a recent visit to London, he talked to
Bookmark about his latest work, Less Than One - a collection of essays, some written in English, his adopted language. Director ARDAN FISHER
