It was designed for the King of Spain to sit on during the Barcelona World's Fair in 1929. When the designer, Mies Van Der Rohe, found a casual passerby sitting on one, he ordered him towards the more appropriate benches which he'd designed outside for people like him.

The elitist image has never worn off. Expensive, austere, it's as much a work of architecture in its way as Mies's influential if stark buildings. It's a chair to admire rather than settle back in. It's still very much in production, an icon with its roots in the Bauhaus and the heroic age of modern design.

with Penny Sparke, Richard Seymour, Dick Powell and Arthur Drexler

The information-hungry world of the 21st century will be fed not by electrical signals, but by pulses of invisible laser light flying along fibres of glass.

What is the revolution in communications that has ousted electricity in favour of light?

With crashing motorbikes, stretching trains and a semiconductor laser the size of a department store, Horizon investigates the mysterious world of light technology and, at the frontiers, finds plans for computers that will process information with light.

What all this might mean for people 25 years from now is seen in the touching tale of Alan and Sarah.

'Blue Moon Detective Agency. You thought we'd gone away but, by popular demand, here's one of the funniest shows from the first series.'

Starring Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes, Bruce Willis as David Addison, with Allyce Beasley as Ms Dipesto

There's a morale problem at Blue Moon. The staff are fighting and Addison is taking bets on the outcome. But then a veiled woman walks in and asks that the man who disfigured her be found - because she still loves him. Passion is obviously boundless and Maddie and David are dragged into a very bizarre case indeed...

Continuing the major theme of the festival - the music of Vienna today - BBC2's coverage is completed by a work which has both delighted and outraged audiences throughout the world, with its mixture of tuneful parody and veiled political satire.

This 'pan-demonium' by Heinz Karl Gruber, receives its first performance on British television with the composer himself as the chansonnier and members of the Almeida Ensemble playing, in addition to their usual instruments, a range of toy trumpets, motor horns and exploding paper bags. Introduced by Michael Berkeley
