A Panorama report
There's a world glut of the drug cocaine and much of it is aimed at Britain. With demand in the USA virtually saturated, the coke barons are opening up fresh markets in Europe. They have a powerful new asset in 'crack' - a refined form of cocaine that is instantly addictive.
Across the Atlantic there's an alarming 'crack' epidemic.
John Penycate reports on the cocaine barons and their corrupting business, and from the places where 'crack' has taken hold and asks: must it come here?

Waddenzee
Where there's mud, there's wealth for fowl and fisherman alike. The
Waddenzee is the most important coastal wetland of western and northern Europe. There is a conservation programme, but land reclamation, pollution, military activities, recreation and tourism often can compete with this fragile environment.

Martin Chambi and the Heirs of the Incas
Tonight Arena tells the story of one of the most extraordinary photographers of the 20th century.
Martin Chambi , an Indian born into a peasant family in the remote Peruvian countryside, became a leading figure in the revolutionary artistic and social movements that swept South America in the 1930s.
His magnificent photographs of the great Inca ruins were the visual epitome of the quest to rediscover the native culture of the Andes. At the same time his portraits recorded the whole of Peruvian society, the heirs of the conquerors as well as the heirs of the Incas.
Shot on location deep in the Andes by Jorge Vignati , cameraman on Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, the film explores Andean life through Chambi's majestic photographs and looks at the relevance of his work 50 years on. Film editor CHRIS SWAYNE Executive producers

starring
Humphrey Bogart Ida Lupino opens a season of films celebrating the diverse talents of Ida Lupino. Newly released from jail, Roy Earle sets off for the High Sierra, where a gangland associate has set up headquarters to plan a robbery. But the job seems doomed to failure when Earl discovers that his inexperienced henchmen have brought along a woman. Bogart's brilliant performance as the doomed gangster 'rushing toward death' confirmed his fame and stardom, and the film gave Ida Lupino - noted also as a writer, producer and director - one of her best roles.
