A Panorama report
In London and the south east, if you own your home, you've made thousands of pounds just by living there. In some parts of Britain the property bubble has burst, and houses expected to go up in value are now going down. Billions are being lent in mortgages, and banks and building societies are falling over themselves to lend you more.
John Penycate asks where this spiral of house prices and domestic debt is leading and looks at the north-south divide and at the plight of those too poor to climb, or to stay, on the home-ownership bandwagon.

Mzima
Portrait of a spring by ALAN AND JOAN ROOT
Rain falling on the high, dry Chyulu Hills of Kenya filters through the lava soil until it emerges as cool, running springs at Mzima. Zebra and elephant visit the oasis to drink, but this unusual African portrait is more concerned with the animals that live at the springs. It is a fascinating world in which frogs climb trees, birds swim, turtle and crocodile feed side by side, and the lumbering hippopotamus takes on a new grace in the unique underwater photography of Alan Root.

Night and Day is a 24-hour journey through the streets of London spent in the company of two different and unusual writers.
The day is introduced by Spectator columnist Jeffrey Bernard who has turned the humdrum routine of daylight hours into a time of escapade, adventure and other lowlife pursuits in the face of every obstacle, including his own collapse at eight each evening. As his day ends
Celia Fremlin's night begins. Fremlin, a 71-year-old thriller writer, stalks London's streets from 11 pm to 5 am in pursuit of what she perceives as a kingdom magically transformed by darkness. Together Bernard and Fremlin present a London that is delightfully personal, mysteriously romantic and usually unexpected.
