Although astronomer Patrick Moore has lived in a fishing village for the past 20 years without ever succeeding in cooking fish, he's surprisingly enthusiastic at the prospect. But he stubbornly refuses to change his inimitable technique for chopping vegetables. MUSIC STUART CALVERT

Why Buildings Make You Sick
Feeling ill at work? It could be your building that's to blame. When Sick Building
Syndrome strikes, it brings a flurry of mild symptoms such as headache, tiredness, sore eyes and runny nose. Horizon follows the investigation of one sick building where 94 per cent of the occupants report symptoms.
Investigators know it's not a serious infection like Legionnaire's disease, but until now have been stumped to find a cause. Could it be dust or moulds in the ventilation ducts, too few negative ions in the air, even a build-up of chemicals? By piecing together different strands of new research, they can now discover the culprit. Narrator Martin Jarvis Film editor CHRIS WOOLLEY Written and produced by MIKE TOMLINSON

Zola Budd remains for most people an enigma. Yet this frail athlete became a symbol in the bitter battle against apartheid in South Africa.
Her silence condemned her in the eyes of 'activists' who ensured that she was banished from athletics in general and the Olympic
Games in particular. In this film, she finds a committed champion in actor Kenneth Griffith. He sets out to discover why, as he sees it, she was so cruelly victimised. His quest takes him to South Africa where he interviews Zola at her home. After rebuffs by Winnie Mandela and Bishop Tutu , those who did agree to meet Griffith -
Peter Hain in London, Helen Suzman , Christian Barnard , Chief Bothelezi and others in South Africa - are subjected to a passionate 'grilling' as Griffith makes clear his own distaste for those who organised the ban on Budd.
