The city of Bombay is an expanding metropolis into which two-and-a-half million people commute to work daily. At lunchtime, many take advantage of the city's restaurants and roadside stalls, but nearly half these workers enjoy the pleasures of home cooking through a personalised lunch service, the logistics of which defy the imagination!

I'm not interested in modern pop music. I'm interested in real instruments, real singing and the style and music of the 1930s.
Graham Dalby and his band of young musicians are 'the Grahamophones'. They are faithfully attempting to recreate the sound and the look of the golden era of British dance band music. From their humble beginnings at a pub in Putney they are now playing in all the top venues around London, just as the old dance bands did 50 years ago. Photography JOHN BECK

Littlehampton, West Sussex with Geoff Hamilton and Anne Swithinbank If you want to grow good tomatoes, then consult the experts, and get good advice on propagating, whether in a single pot with a polythene bag over it, or something more sophisticated.
Use of biological pest controls and slow-release fertilisers proves to be well within the scope of the ordinary gardener. Production assistant

The English Thoroughbred In the late 17th century the fastest, most elegant racing machine known to man was developed by the English aristocracy.
The English gentry crossed their hardy mares with three delicate Arab stallions and it is from these horses that all today's thoroughbreds descend.
'Good breeding' is as much a watchword for the horses as for their owners and has culminated in such legendary animals as Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Oh So Sharp.
The price tags on the world's best bloodstock drip noughts like great works of art.
The film's equine guests include the triple crown winner Oh So Sharp,
Dancing Brave, Adjal and Reference Point.
Humans include owners His Highness Sheikh

A new play by Leslie Stewart

"It's all labels. We're all mixed up. We're all part of the con."
Matthew and Phil, two good friends - just good friends? Matthew knows he's gay; Phil, because he's got a girlfriend, isn't sure what his feelings are. Little help comes from family and friends, so perhaps a holiday away together will sort things out - just the two of them?
