In October 1588 a lone Spanish ship was wrecked off Bolt Tail in south Devon. The St Peter the Great was one of the hospital ships in King Philip's mighty Armada.
One of those taken prisoner was a Portuguese boy called George. In today's programme children from three Devon schools use their own maps, models and pictures to tell the story of the Spanish Armada and to speculate about the fate of that Portuguese ship's boy.

It's thought that up to 30,000 people in Britain have been infected by the AIDS virus, but don't realise it. Can this epidemic be stopped? "Horizon" looks at how the virus works, and the way it builds itself into the genes of its victims.
