with John Pitman
At the age of 8, Julie Lartey was snatched from the couple who had fostered her since she was a few days old, and smuggled out of Britain to Ghana.
The snatch had a devastating effect on her foster parents - Evelyn and Bill Vose.
Now, ten years later, Julie wants to come home to them - will the Voses help?
Evelyn is aged 70, Bill is 80. They decide to spend their life savings on a ticket, but never hear whether Julie has received it.
They go to the airport not knowing whether Julie will be on the plane. If she isn't, they will go through all the heartache again. If she is, will they be able to pick up where they left off years ago?
A riveting tale of innocence, love and betrayal TODAY A slice of drama cut raw from life

A six-part introduction to the language and people

On 25 April 1974 Europe's most recent revolution ended 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal. It brought, among other things, a hard-fought legacy of land reform to the stunning sun-drenched region of the Alentejo, in southern Portugal, where the cork oak and the co-operative dominate the landscape.
Discover too how to find your way around the picturesque lanes of Alfama, in Lisbon - in Portuguese, of course. Presented by Roberta Fox

starring
Orson Welles Joseph Cotten
Welles's feature debut - at the age of 25 - nearly broke
RKO Studios. Now, several decades later, it is regarded as a masterpiece and arguably the single most important landmark in cinema history. Welles discarded and re-created innumerable 'rules' and his presence as actor and director dominates the entire production. Kane's story, told in flashback, shows him as a rich and powerful newspaper magnate whose career is threatened by scandal. 'Here is a man who could have been President, who was as loved and hated and as talked about as any man in our time, but when he comes to die, he's got something on his mind called Rosebud. Now what does that mean?'
