The story of motor racing. 2: The Road Racers.
Millie Miglia , Targa Florio , Carrera Pan Americana - the names of the great road races have disappeared from the racing calendar, but they still evoke the history of motor racing at its most full-blooded. But as the power and speed of cars rose, so did the death toll of drivers and spectators. The sport was banned in the 1950s. Today's alternatives include racing in the Mexican deserts. Narrated by Philip Tibenham. Producer John Bird

Schlock horror! A new series for red-eyed addicts of appalling B-movie 'masterpieces'.
Each week revives the naked terror of 50s frighteners by such masters of the art as Samuel Z Arkoff ,
Roger Corman and Edward L Cahn
(tremble at The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman: 'a female colossus.... her mountainous torso ... skyscraper limbs ... giant desires!').
There are more fearful thrills in continuing episodes of 70s cult The Night Stalker. Bizarre and brilliant contemporary animation and shorts bring much-needed relief.
Hosted by Richard O'Brien , creator of The Rocky Horror Show and presenter of The Crystal Maze.
