Andre Previn and Isaac Stern
In this series, Andre Previn talks with some of the musicians he most admires and exchanges ideas with them about the pressures and pleasures of their profession. During a rehearsal break in Hollywood, he joins the famous violinist Isaac Stern to discuss the rising generation of musicians, the surge of instrumentalists from the Far East and the mystery of talent: an often critical look is also taken at the state of contemporary music. During the programme, Isaac Stem plays in works by Beethoven, Brahms and Peter Maxwell Davies. Producer MICHAEL KERR

High Insecurity
Roger 'Bomber' Pearson has a string of convictions - from car theft to sheep rustling. But how much of a drawback is a criminal record when you're after a job in the private security industry?
A recent report by Britain's top policemen argued that too many firms were run by or employed ex-convicts, and that it was time the industry was brought under strict Home Office control.
Reporter Susan Rae follows Roger 'Bomber' Pearson's progress in the security business to find out if - in the words of one of its fiercest critics - it really is 'no more than a Benny Hill farce'.

A Bookmark special
The announcement of the Booker Prize for fiction has become the high point of the literary year. This year has seen more than the usual share of controversy: already the bookmakers have closed and reopened the betting after suspicion of a leak; one novel has been banned in the author's home country; and two authors stand to make history by winning the award twice. According to the critics, the field is the strongest for several years: Peter Carey s Oscar and Lucinda; Bruce Chatwin 's Utz;
Penelope Fitzgerald 's The Beginning of Spring; David Lodge 's Nice
Work;Salman Rushdie 's The
Satanic Verses; and Marina Warner's The Lost Father.
John Tusa reports live from the Booker Prize dinner at London's Guildhall. He introduces filmed interviews with the authors, and a discussion of the novels chaired by novelist Howard jacobson, with poet and critic Al Alvarez , English
Professor Marilyn Butler and novelist Margaret Forster ... and hears the announcement of the 1988 winner. Production assistant
