Invisible worlds exist on scales too fast, too slow, too big or too small to be perceived by the naked eye. Among the wonders visible through new technology, are the tracks of sub-atomic particles, bullets slicing through playing cards, microscopic mites which live Qn the human skin and water crystallising into ice.

Close Encounters of the European Kind
Second of five programmes looking at how the EC is taking control of Britain's environment.
Some Like It Hot. Thermal images reveal how wasteful of money - and energy - Julian Pettifer 's country cottage is, in spite of Britain's efforts at saving energy for the last 50 years. First it was necessary for the war effort; it was rationed during the oil crisis; saved for economical reasons; and now it should be saved for the sake of the planet. Tonight's film examines how the EC intends to make energy saving work. 0 TELETEXT SUBTITLES: page 888 ● NATURE: page 14

A Spanish Odyssey - a Portrait of Javier Mariscal
Javier Mariscal is an artist who cannot be categorised - a designer who thinks a Camel cigarette packet has as much value as a Picasso.
Phillipe Starck , the doyen of the design world, calls him "the Andy Warhol of Spain". Mariscal himself says, "I make cultural sandwiches for the brain."
Always a controversial figure, he has come a long way from his early days peddling underground comics in the bars and streets of Barcelona. Since winning the design commission for the Olympic Games, he has attracted heavy criticism for his commercial exploitation of Cobi, the Olympic mascot.
Tonight's film takes a look at the man and his diverse work - comics, animation, sculpture, furniture, interiors, paintings. Whatever the medium, Mariscal's message is invariably enigmatic, eclectic, and above all fun. Director Holly Aylett
