[Starring] Phil Silvers as Sgt Bilko

Sgt Bilko handpicks the Wac to replace Col Hall's secretary, a move he soon wishes he had never made. (R)

Thirty years ago the M1 was built through Northamptonshire and alongside it, Britain's first and probably most famous motorway service station, Watford Gap, opened with four sets of pumps and a garden shed.
The Gap is an entertaining glimpse of life, by day and night, of the people who pass through and work in this strangely isolated community. TV stars, eccentrics, the rich, the poor and the foreign are all to be seen at this motorway equivalent of Piccadilly Circus.
BBC South and East-Norwich (R) (Regional programme - for variations see below)

The Other Graham Greene
'Everybody in the world, so they say, has a double'
GRAHAM GREENE ,
The Human Factor
For some 25 years the author Graham Greene found himself the victim of a bizarre masquerade. A man calling himself Graham Greene opened hotels in Jamaica, courted high society in the south of France and was entertained in India by tea planters convinced that he was the real author. The other Graham Greene has left few traces behind, letters and the occasional photo, collected over the years by Graham Greene like clues from one of his own thrillers. But is 'the other' perhaps a decoy, invented by the secretive Greene to confuse and deceive his chosen biographer Norman Sherry ? On the 25th anniversary of BBC2 Greene himself joins Arena on the trail of his
Doppelganger, in a search for the real Graham Greene. Film cameramen
