Surveying the minefield of contemporary ethical issues, this programme asks how people learn moral values.
Does an absolute morality still make sense in a secular society and how far does personal experience determine the choices we make? In a special television edition of the Radio 4 programme, Michael Buerk, Janet Daley, Edward Pearce, Dr David Starkey and Rabbi Hugo Gryn look at the problems and cross-examine expert witnesses.

Since the collapse of communism in 1989, ethnic and national conflicts that had seemed buried in history, have erupted in a line across eastern and central Europe. This film, made by Ilan Ziv, whose roots are in the Warsaw Jewish ghetto, follows a bold attempt to halt that disintegration. The so-called "Conference Express" started its journey in Krakow, Poland, and travelled from Auschwitz to Transylvania, with the leaders of many of the region's political parties and ethnic groups on board seeking peaceful solutions. Watching progress is writer and broadcaster Misha Glenny. Says executive producer Robin Gutch: "Television is often justifiably criticised for only reacting to humanitarian crises while doing little to ameliorate them. This time we took the initiative ourselves."

The hard-hitting police series, created by J.C. Wilsher, goes back to the beginning with a rerun of the first series in which ambitious Detective Superintendent Tony Clark joins the Complaints Investigation Bureau.

For those that did not discover Between the Lines until the second series, which ended in dramatic circumstances just before Christmas, it is a chance to see the development of the characters and how Clark's extra-marital adventures earned the programme the nickname of "Between the Sheets".
