The Glass Animal Man Bill Axcell can slice a windowpane. melt it in a flame, and twirl it into a dragon, or a daffodil or a carousel. As a child he was hopelessly clumsy; in the navy he was constantly seasick, and he still wreaks havoc every time he uses a hammer. Glass, to his amazement, works for him, and in his hands becomes a thing of magic. Executive producer JENNIFER JEREMY

Presented by John Huntley A Day to Remember
Everyone has special days in their lives. Some are planned carefully and anticipated with much joy - like a wedding day. Others just happen and are disastrous, such as the day the local river burst its banks and your home was flooded.
Then there was the day war ended, the day Churchill came to town, the day you saw the Queen in person. They are all days to remember and ones which John Huntley recalls for people as he looks through films of special occasions from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Kay Alexander reports on Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia which currently affects three-quarters of a million people in the UK - but the real sufferers are the carers. Jonathan Miller , president of the Alzheimer's Disease Society, described it as 'a bereavement which is constantly stressed and irritated by the fact the body has not departed but is there as a constant reminder of the person who was loved'.

1: The Far North
Wainwright's beautifully detailed hand-written guides to the Lake District have now sold over a million copies and have made their sometimes irascible author an unlikely hero. But 'AW' - as he's known to his tiny circle of friends - has also looked beyond the splendours of his own doorstep and for the last 40 years he's spent every holiday north of the border exploring the remote landscape of Scotland.
Tonight he re-creates those journeys, beginning with the unique, 'lunar' landscape of Sutherland.

A series of five films in which Russell Harty makes a thoroughly modern journey following in the footsteps of the 18th-century travellers in order to further his education and have a pleasurable time. Part 2
In which he looks over the Wall; John Wells introduces him to the delights of Krduterkartoffeln and a very shady dance hall in East
Berlin: he follows the Pied Piper; calls on the great-grandson of Prince
Albert; visits a museum in Munich where even the Germans can't help laughing; meets a saintly sister from
Droylesden and mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, alias Helmut Berger ; finally in Oberammergau he overcomes his prejudices, inherited from his Granny Harty , against all things German.

Tino Orsini , a brash young American trapeze artist, comes to Cirque Bouglione with only one ambition - to learn the dangerous aerial somersault from an old
'master' Mike Ribble. In this classic circus picture filmed largely in the Paris Cirque d'Hiver, Carol Reed cast former acrobat Lancaster as the veteran 'flyer' Mike and captured some electrifying moments on the trapeze.
