Having a baby is one of the most life-changing experiences we ever go through but, as all parents know, that's just the start of it. Five mothers and their partners, whose babies were born at the end of 1993, have undertaken to make a video diary of the first 12 months of family life and the results will be shown every month for the rest of the year.
This introductory programme entitled What Are You Hoping For? meets the characters about to embark on the rocky road of parenthood. Next week the cameras are turned on to the babies for the first monthly report.
A Goldwyn production for BBCtv

The Great Pyramid of Egypt is one of the world's oldest and most perplexing enigmas, but If writers Robert Bauval and Adrian
Gilbert are to be believed, it may be about to yield many of its secrets.
They claim that the 4,500-year-old pyramid, far from being simply a royal tomb, was an instrument of worship in the stellar cult of the fourth
Egyptian dynasty, and that the precision with which it was constructed was an attempt to re-create heaven on earth.
Presenter Emma Freud meets
Bauval and Gilbert, and talks to experts who have devoted years to the study of the pyramids. Executive producer John Blake
