A series looking at identity in a changing world, compiled from programmes originally made for the Open University.
Heritage and Identity. The national landscape seems to represent the very essence of being English, expressing better than anything else the heart of national identity.
But what really lies behind the reassuring image of a tranquil and timeless English heritage? Stuart Hall and Patrick Wright visit Lulworth Castle in Dorset and Quarry Bank Cotton Mill outside Manchester to find evidence of the historic forces which shaped the countryside as it is today.
Series producers Sally Angel and Jeremy Cooper

Documentary series on Christopher Columbus to mark the 500th anniversary of his landing in the Americas in 1492. The Columbian Exchange
Both the New World and the Old World have been changed beyond recognition by the animals and plants that
Columbus and his successors carried across the Atlantic.
The horse totally transformed the North American Indians' way of life; cattle created the cowboy culture in both North and South America; the South
American potato made possible a huge boom in Europe's population; and sugar brought both wealth and slavery to Cuba, Jamaica and other
Caribbean countries. Presented by Mauricio Obregon. Producer Graham Chedd 0STEREO

This Academy Award-winning study of relationships is the first of two films tonight concluding the Woody Allen season.
Starring Woody Allen, Michael Caine, Mia Farrow

Everyone relies on Hannah's stability - but, as ever, her strength is to be sorely tested, not least by the actions of her husband Elliot, and her ex-husband the neurotic Mickey. Through three Thanksgivings, the intertwined tales of Hannah and her sisters, their lives and loves, family and friends, form a rich and deep portrait of human relationships.

The BFI Award-winning series, which gives cameras and training to people to record their own lives.
The Reluctant Mamoushka
Last year Edel O'Brien went to Russia as unpaid chaperone to nine Irish teenage girls beginning their first term at the Perm Ballet School. With no school lessons or activities set up for the girls, and virtually no contact with the Irish organisers, Edel's job soon becomes a nightmare of chaos and frustration. Struggling to look after the group, whose major preoccupations are
Russian boys and chocolate, she tries to combat their boredom and homesickness. Meanwhile, the ballet school seems totally unprepared for its western pupils and more interested in the money they are paying than their dancing abilities.
Edel's diary is a beautiful tribute to ballet, set against the struggle of the Russian people of Perm as communism comes to an end. As the first term draws to a close, she wonders if she can cope with the job. Series producer Bob Long

The Woody Allen season concludes with this comic fantasy starring Mia Farrow
Jeff Daniels

Like millions of Americans in the Great Depression of the 1930s, Cecilia seeks escapism from the awful facts of life. Her regular refuge is the local cinema. But fantasy and reality blur when dashing Tom Baxter addresses her from the silver screen and a complicated comic romance blooms.
