Steve Rider and Sue Barker, who will be hosting the BBC's coverage of the 17th Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway, take an early look at the venues where the drama will unfold over the next 16 days. Some of the great moments from past games and previews of key events will set the scene. Torvill and Dean, Olympic champions in 1984, have returned from the professional ice dance circuit to make their bid for a second gold. They carry the main British hopes, but which other Britons are likely to be in medal contention? And which overseas stars will be securing a place in Olympic history once the formalities of tomorrow's opening ceremony are over?

At a time when economic competitiveness and environmental awareness make extra design demands, the BBC launches an awards scheme to show how British designers are responding to the challenge.

Nominations will come both from the design industry and the public in the categories of architecture, product design and graphic design. A panel of experts will then choose a shortlist of finalists in each category. Viewers will have a chance to phone in their votes after three special programmes devoted to the finalists which will be screened next June.

In tonight's programme, Alexei Sayle launches the awards, provides full details of how viewers can participate, and finds out what members of the public think of a revolutionary vacuum cleaner, a new high-speed French train and an architect's dream home.

Plus, top fashion designer Paul Smith explains why he believes the time is now right for British design talent to get the recognition it deserves.
