A plane sprays pesticide on a banana plantation - and the Filipinos working on it. A
Thai farmer sprays without protective clothing - he collapses in a fit and is rushed to hospital. Another must abandon his farm - the pests have become resistant to insecticides. Profits from Poison shows that while pesticides have led to bigger harvests, they have not helped the Asian farmer.
Will new ways of controlling pests free the farmer from pesticide dependency? This documentary looks at the alternatives now being developed, and asks why they are not being implemented faster. Produced and directed by JAMIE HARTZELL

They are pioneers in the NHS - no other post at their level of seniority is similarly shared in the UK. From the 9-II-5 offices, a lively discussion on a topic that affects people at work. Episode 5 of The Move goes into the homes of some of the families affected by the company move.

York introduces the fifth programme in the series looking at the shared Problems of northern Europe's common waterway.
Denmark has a reputation as the European Community's environmental conscience, but many Danes believe that they are not achieving the high standards they have set for themselves, and that before criticising others they must first clean up their own pollution. The Danish paradox is exemplified by their fishermen. They are Europe's most militant opponents of the sea's pollution and yet some of them own fish meal factories which pour tonnes of nutrients into the North Sea. This programme examines these internal conflicts in a country where the environment is consistently found to be the main political concern in opinion polls.

Shakespeare called it 'the green-eyed monster'.
It's an emotion which makes thousands of lives hell.
Christine eventually came to terms with her sexual jealousy by smashing up her ex-lover's bedroom, ripping his duvet to pieces.
Jim became jealous when he saw his fiancee walking hand in hand with another man. He ended up being chased in the night by police.
Odette's torment began when she got married for the second time. As she couldn't get rid of her jealousy, she decided to get rid of her husband.
She dreamt up 'the perfect crime' on Beachy Head ... The tales, comic and dramatic, are linked by the Jealousy tango - a tune composed by a jealous Dane in a thunderstorm 64 years ago, which became one of the century's greatest hits. Dancers DEREK HARTLEY, SOPHIA FLORIMO
