British Petroleum believes that its radical management reorganisation will revolutionise the way it does business. It has abolished whole tiers of executives employed to 'second guess' the decisions of other executives and has freed employees to work as teams. But can the shake-up solve BP's major problems of finding oil and marketing petrol?

Twilight of the Dreamtime Narrated by David Attenborough.
The Gagudju people of northern Australia are heirs to the longest unbroken culture in the world.
Through the eyes of the last fully initiated elders, the programme explores the spectacular homeland they call Kakadu. The wetlands and woodlands swarm with wildlife and provide all they need both physically and spiritually. For 40,000 years, the Gagudju have looked after this sacred land and cherished it with rituals. But the younger men no longer learn the old traditions.
