Edinburgh
Tonight the world's fastest rock show whistles through Edinburgh, the 'windy city'. Presenter Jenny Powell and her sporran partner
Tony Baker can't trace so much as a Scottish twig in their family trees, but they're full of admiration for kilt-edged securities like Edinburgh Castle, Princess Street and the Royal Mile.

Athens, but you can be sure no one's ever made
Edinburgh Rock like this before.

A major government-appointed committee will shortly confirm that passive smoking increases the risk of lung cancer. Helen Boaden discovers non-smokers may be able to use the courts to ban smoking at work. Researcher IAN COOK Producer BRIAN BARR Editor COLIN CAMERON BBC North West

Temples of Solomon Karl Mauch in Africa 1837-1875
Presented by David Drew
When Karl Mauch discovered massive stone ruins in the unknown heart of Africa, he was convinced that he had found Ophir, the legendary source of King Solomon's gold. The city must, he felt, have been built by Solomon's men. His ideas were to suit white colonists for generations. But, more recently, supported by the archaeological evidence, black nationalists have challenged these theories and rightly claimed 'Great Zimbabwe' as the work of their forefathers.
David Drew treks north across the Limpopo River by jeep and on foot, retracing Mauch's solitary and dangerous route. He recounts how the explorer evaded death and capture to discover southern Africa's greatest stone city.
