The Max Factor
The Prince of Wales cast the first brickbat but Maxwell Hutchinson has a view of modern British architecture which is equally controversial and, because he is the new president of the Royal Institute of British
Architects, very influential. Where some, including
Prince Charles, find ugliness in our landscape he finds inspiration - he describes the tower block Centre Point, in London, as one of his favourite buildings. Michael Delahaye accompanies Max Hutchinson on an architectural odyssey in search of buildings the RIBA President believes show the best and worst of design. Producer TONY CHAPMAN
Series producer PETER LOWE Editor COLIN STANBRIDGE

On the Ropes
Nigel Benn is an ex-
Commonwealth boxing champion. Ambrose Mendy is a black businessman.
Both are chasing success. Is the boxer getting a fair deal? 'No,' says Nigel Benn , who joined forces with Mendy after breaking his ties with promoter Frank Warren. Is it tough breaking into the boxing establishment? 'Yes,' says Ambrose Mendy , who is aware of the lack of black representation outside the ring in a sport dominated by black boxers. On the Ropes follows the fortunes of Benn and Mendy as they struggle to achieve their ambitions in the unpredictable world of blood, sweat and tears.

from Barnsdale.
A large evergreen shrub gives instant height and all-year-round interest, especially in a small garden, but the bigger they are the more expensive, so preparation before planting is very important. It's also time to take hardwood cuttings, and what about growing a little nut tree?
With Geoff Hamilton , Anne Swithinbank and John Kelly.

A celebration of the sounds of a continent. 4: Zimbabwe
Among all English-speaking African countries, the music of Zimbabwe has made a particular impact on the west in recent years.
Fusing influences as diverse as the ancient marimba and thumb piano, and American jazz, the many different sounds reflect a preoccupation with recent struggles and the political and moral issues of a newly independent country.
