To the boarding houses of Blackpool, buffeted by howling winds and high seas, come 700 hopeful couples with one thing in common - a passion for dancing.
Competing in the most important ballroom dancing championships of the year are a 6ft 4in plumber, a 56-year-old gas fitter, a secretary from the Ministry of Defence, two shop assistants from a smart London store, and a teenage couple still at school.
They're all tough, fit and determined; prepared to sacrifice everything for a sport that can cost well over £3,000 a year. Narrator Ian Holm

A weekly report on the world of education with Martin Young
As a brand new teacher I was told: 'Don't worry son, the longer you stay in this job, the easier it gets. ' Twenty-two years later I think it's not less enjoyable, but it's a lot harder.
What's it like being a teacher today and how are they coping with the increasingly complex job they are being asked to perform? The view from the staff room of Airedale High School in Castleford, West Yorkshire. Producer IAN WOOLF

A Bristol University student has failed his maths exams. Nothing unusual in that, except that Francis Foecke failed because the examiners say his results were too good to be true.
He has spent months of worry and thousands of pounds on legal action trying to prove that he is a genius rather than a cheat.

From Aerosols to Zoos A hard look at the environment with Michael Buerk and reporters John Howard and Linda Mitchell
Fish farming in Scotland could be worth £100 million by the end of the decade. But will it benefit the local crofters or big business? Can planning and pollution controls protect the traditional beauty of the Highlands? This week, as the industry meets in Inverness to celebrate a boom year, Nature examines a debate that's shaking the glens. Plus live interviews on the latest news stories and the results of last week's hotline calls.

Aubrey is determined to see Helen acting in a play in Hull, but she is not happy about this - mainly because she isn't in it. Helen is, however, very happy when her husband, Dan, invites her out to see the play. But when Aubrey's wife, Gwyneth, invites Dan out to the theatre, he is not so happy....

A series of films about our lives - now

At Withington she ran a ward of 25 patients; in America she has just five private patients. The surprises come quickly: 'high life' in Hollywood but violence on the street where she lives, superb facilities at Brotman but worries over the US health system. These worries are shared by other British nurses in the Brotman intensive care unit, in maternity and in casualty. For some of the nurses, there are even differences in medical ethics.
Annie makes a decision about her future...
