Offbeat American science-fiction series starring Scott Bakula Dean Stockwell
Shock Theatre. 3 October
1954: Sam gets a shock when he leaps into the body of an institutionalised manic-depressive to assist another patient, while Al's desperate mission is to save Sam himself.

Documentary series focusing primarily on Britain today.

Crammed into a Benidorm apartment intended for four, are nine lads who have left behind the north east of England for a fortnight's package holiday. Loud, aggressive, abusive, they drink too much and leer at the topless girls on the beaches. It looks like an orgy of loutish behaviour but, for them, the excesses are an escape from the drabness of life in everyday Britain.
