Fourth in a seven-part series marking the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's landing in the Americas.
Worlds Found and Lost. The modern sailing vessel
Westward retraces Columbus's wandering path through the Bahamas to Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
The programme describes how Columbus's log was sprinkled with eager commentary on the gold he and his crew expected to find at each new turn. They found little gold, but they did encounter a thriving native population who, according to Columbus, pronounced the Europeans to be "men from heaven". But these gentle people were exploited and eventually driven to extinction by forced labour and disease.

Highlights of the Elton John concert staged earlier this week in Barcelona.

He performs old favourites like Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, I'm Still Standing and Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word together with tracks from his new album The One, including his hit single of the same name. The stage show is as flamboyant as ever and includes the much-publicised Gianni Versace-designed clothes.

Last in the series that charts the richness of world music.
New Orleans Revisited
A return to the Big Easy to examine the life and times of Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton, perceived through the eyes and ears of two Americans - leading jazz trumpeter
Freddie Hubbard and comic strip artist Robert Crumb.
Hubbard starts tonight's film with a quest to re-create the sound of Louis Armstrong's early Hot Five tunes. Hubbard recalls that a lot of people accused him of wasting his time: "I said, man you'd be surprised, I'm learning a lot!"
Crumb confesses that listening to old jazz records is as much a passion with him as drawing cartoons: "So at some point I knew the two were bound to come together." When they did, the result was a remarkable comic strip adaptation of the jazz legend, Jelly Roll Morton's s Voodoo Curse, which is transferred to the screen in its entirety tonight.

The first in a new run of the BFI Award-winning series which gives cameras and training to people to record their own lives.
Searching for a Killer. While in Haiti during the 1987 election, Geoffrey Smith and a friend stumbled across a horrific massacre at a polling station.
A gunman returned to the scene and opened fire, killing the man in front of him and shooting Geoffrey through the leg. Ever since the shooting,
Geoffrey has been plagued by nightmares and fear, and earlier this year he decided to return to Haiti to find the man who shot him, hoping that this may be the key to his recovery. He arrives to find Haiti living under an international trade embargo; violence, fear and oppression are rife under the brutal military junta. Despite his friends' warnings, Geoffrey braves fear, intimidation and silence in his search. He makes friends with a voodoo priest who tries to persuade him to pursue a more Haitian solution-to his problem by immersing himself in the culture and voodoo religion.
Geoffrey's diary is the story of a man desperate to exorcise the ghosts that haunt him. It is a powerful and personal journey through a Haiti never seen on television, an uncompromising portrait of a land which swings between terror and enchantment.
