Over the next weeks, they'll be visiting eight major cities. First stop - canals, controversy, fast food, films, squatters and football. Not forgetting rock, of course. What's it like to be young and living in Amsterdam? Where are the hip clubs, who runs pirate radio, and how are homosexuals treated? Director JOSH HALIL

Shortly before his death last February, the great scientist Richard Feynman told "Horizon" the story of his ten-year fascination with Tannu Tuva, a Shangri-La on the edge of Mongolia, which very few westerners have ever seen.

From Tuva came strange and beautiful stamps. Here, 'the reindeer and the camel are neighbours', and nomads perform a weird type of harmonic throat-singing which, once heard, is never forgotten. Feynman also talks about his role in identifying the cause of the Space Shuttle disaster, and his love of deciphering Mayan hieroglyphics.

He plays the bongos, too.

Tonight starring
Joanne Woodward Richard Kiley
So what if
Barbara Wyatt Hollis is a little eccentric - she's an English professor and a poet! But her husband George can see beyond her academic manner to something more worrying - why does her memory keep lapsing, why is she often so confused and why does she flare into powerful hostility for no reason? And it's getting worse. Much worse. This award-winning film features a moving performance by Joanne Woodward as a woman faced with the onslaught of Alzheimer's disease, a disorder that causes mental and physical deterioration.
