EastEnders
The Bangladeshi community in London's East End feels itself under siege. The recent election victory of the extreme right-wing British National
Party in the Isle of Dogs, and a spate of brutal racial attacks have left Bengalis angry and bitter. The youth in particular feel the police don't do enough to protect them and have formed their own defence organisations. Producer Kurt Barling
Editor Mike Flood Page REGIONAL PROGRAMME: see variations below
An opportunity for car enthusiasts, without minimum £67,000 to spare, to fantasise about owning and driving a Ferrari. In this programme devoted to the car more deeply immersed in motoring mystique than any other marque, presenter Jeremy Clarkson , a self-confessed addict, visits the factory, interviews owners and test drives the new 456GT, the world's fastest four-seater car.
"This is classical elegance," says Clarkson. " And it's four times more powerful than your GolfGTi."
For those still dreaming, a top of the range Ferrari - the 512TR - costs almost E 125,000 and has a top speed of 195mph. Producer Jon Bentley
Executive producer Dennis Adams

The Handgun
The last programme in the series looks at the gun. When Samuel Colt invented his revolver in 1831, handguns became part of the American way of life. Now a new handgun is produced in America every 20 seconds, killing around 10,000 people every year. Producer Michael Davies
