Weather followed by Olga Goes to Hollywood
What happens when you leave your homeland - forever? Olga Serova knows that she will probably never see her friends and family in Russia again. She has crossed the world and ended up in Tinsel Town. But the Hollywood of a glamorous legend is not what Olga discovers in her everyday life. She met her husband Zhenya at the Moscow Circus School, where they both trained as actors. As refuseniks, they were secretly filmed by the BBC in Moscow eight years ago and then again on the day they got to the West.
Now Zhenya, who dreams of Charlie Chaplin , can find work only as a Los Angeles taxi driver.

A visit from the Queen is not an everday occurrence on the Isle of Wight. This year she came to attend the Australian Bicentennial celebrations at Ryde. It was a visit lasting two hours but it took countless committees, people and days to make it happen and for some of the time a film crew was there as well.

The Disability Disgrace
Today, far-reaching changes in the social security system come into effect. The DHSS admits that there will be both 'winners' and 'losers'. For three years the Royal
National Institute for the Blind has campaigned with other national disability organisations opposed to these changes. Tonight, through the experiences of those who will be affected, their programme counts the cost to sick and disabled people, many of whom now face an uncertain future with loss of payments and rights. Film cameraman JIM PEIRSON Film editor JULIAN MILLER

Since its discovery on Easter morning in 1722, this tiny Pacific island has remained a fascinating puzzle. It is the most isolated inhabited land on earth, and yet it was also home to a glorious stone culture. Can the mystery of its giant statues ever be solved? Who built them, how and why - and what happened to the civilisation that once flourished there? From all over the world scientists are drawn to this lonely spot, in search of answers.

In the first of a two-part investigation, "Horizon" pieces together the clues that can reveal the secrets of a vanished past.

Books has become a legend. He is feared and admired as one of the West's greatest gunfighters.
When Books arrives in a small town he seeks the advice of Dr Hostetler, who diagnoses cancer. The ageing gunfighter decides that his remaining days will not be wasted.
