In July Off the Wallpresented short series about a unique exhibition which took place on the Byker housing estate in Newcastle upon Tyne, as Constable, Warhol, Goya and Miro competed for space in a derelict grocer's store, a council house and the local pub. Tonight's compilation follows the experiment from start to finish as six Byker residents - the show's curators - embark on a whistle-stop tour of England's galleries, dealers and artists. From the Yorkshire
Sculpture Park near Wakefield to the Tate Gallery, they search for works to borrow and bring back to the estate. But what does it take to mount an exhibition of art worth a million, and how will the neighbours react when the amateur curators finally open their show? With Muriel Gray.

It was the end of an era for heavy metal legends Iron
Maiden when vocalist
Bruce Dickinson left to pursue a solo career. This programme features his final concert with the band and includes a performance by horror magician Simon Drake. The concert comes to a climax with a mixture of rock and blood-tingling illusion set in Dante's Inferno: the band have always been famous for their stage sets and special lighting. Iron Maiden were formed in the late 1970s, the brainchild of bass player Steve Harris. Dickinson subsequently replaced original vocalist Paul Dianno.
