In the remote village of Konchet in the Kingdom of Zanskar, families live out their lives in the same way as their Tibetan ancestors did more than a thousand years ago. This is a medieval world where dogs turn into spirits at night, and bears and wolves are as much part of the landscape as the fleas and the lice. When
Tsultrim's baby falls ill, the local doctor explains his remedies, including the ultimate one, fire.

This week the spotlight falls on Joe Jackson.
Bom in Burton-on-Trent, he was influenced by a variety of music, ranging from the theme music from the film
Exodus to the Beatles. and Beethoven. From his days as the 'angry man of pop',
Jackson has switched his musical styles at whim, experimenting with rock, jazz, reggae and classical music. His success with songs like Is She Really
Going Out with Him? and It's Different for Girls brought him international fame, but celebrity status is not something Jackson found easy to deal with. In a revealing interview, he airs his criticisms of the rock and pop world, and talks about his aims and goals. The programme also features exciting performance footage of this multi-talented artist.
