The New Yorker
New Yorker magazine occupies a unique place in American culture. For 60 years it has been the proving ground for writers like John Updike and J. D. Salinger , and critics like Pauline Kael. But recently the New Yorker's august tradition has come under threat from a new owner, who has appointed his own editor - only the third man to have held this post. Review has been to
Manhattan to talk to some of the New Yorker's most distinguished contributors - John Updike , Ved Mehta and J. McInerney - about the magazine which many of them feel is about to be lost for ever.

First of six programmes about some of the 20th century's most enduring designs.
It's hard to imagine anything more at odds with the hi-tech, microwave, designer-kitchen age than the Aga cooker.
It's formidably heavy. It's far from cheap to buy and install. And yet its popularity has grown and grown since it came to England from Sweden in 1929. More than just a commercial success story, it has come to symbolise the quintessence of upper-and middle-class rural life. In Chiswick and the Isle of Dogs it suggests the warm heart of the English country home.
How did it happen?

Aircrash: the Burning Issue 'Everybody get out as fast as you can, get out, get out, get out....' (AIRLINE STEWARD) Fuel is burning outside and flames are spreading along the cabin - but the greatest threat to the survival of most passengers is from the dense, black, poisonous smoke. 'Two whiffs and I'm quite sure you'd have had it'
(MANCHESTER AIRCRASH
SURVIVOR)
After 40 years' research into how to prevent or delay aircraft fires, the most promising recent developments have been in the design of passenger smoke hoods. The burning issue is, will they really save lives, or just cause more confusion and delay in getting out? And until that question is answered, what is the best way to survive?

'Blue Moon Detective Agency. We'll solve your problems ... once we've solved ours.' starring with Maddie's Turn to Cry
As the Elaine Johnson case takes a bizarre turn, the story of Maddie in love continues as she considers the attraction of opposites: Sam and Dave. One's into Sinatra, the other goes for soul; one's perfect, the other rather less so; and it becomes clear that two's company, but three's a dilemma...
