When Britain's last big fork-lift truck maker slipped into the hands of the Germans last month, accusations of foul play began to fly. The German banks were accused of bouncing Lancer Boss into receivership so that a German buyer could get it on the cheap. In tonight's programme,

The Canadian Grand Prix from Montreal. Live coverage of the whole race - the sixth round of the Formula 1 World Championship from the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit. This circuit, located on the He Notre Dame in the St Laurent River, is arguably the toughest of the Grand Prix season. Narrow and twisting it is, nevertheless, a favourite among the drivers. Commentary by Murray Walker and Jonathan Palmer. Producer Mark Wilkin
Executive producer Jim Reside
(Highlights tomorrow at 2.15pm)
As coverage of the Grand Prix is live, subsequent programmes may run late.

As the sun goes down on the Norfolk coast, a day of live wildlife watching draws to a close. The area has been specially chosen for its flat, bleak, remote and inaccessible qualities, which makes it so attractive to the wildlife which inhabit it.
Over the day, viewers will have been able to see sandwich terns fishing and feeding their chicks, follow the camera boat as it tries to track down the seals and witness Howard Stableford digging for bait in the mud.
Simon King went for a long walk along a five-mile sandy shingle bank, hoping to find colonies of terns at the end, and Sheila Anderson waited with the seals for the tide to turn.
In this last programme Chris Packham watches hundreds of terns frantically ferrying fish to their hungry chicks. Howard Stableford recalls the memorable moments of the day over a pancake made from local plants, cooked on the beach.

Britain went to the polls to vote for its Euro MPs last Thursday but the snape or the new European parliament will not be decided until tonight when more than
200 million votes across Europe have been counted.
David Dimbleby reports on the live declarations from the key counts in Britain and, with the help of studio guests BBC political editor Robin Oakley , analysts Professor Anthony King , Peter Kellner and Ann-Marie Le Gouannec , assesses their impact - particularly on the Conservatives and John Major 's leadership. There are also reports from correspondents in the key European capitals on their countries' elections, and Peter Snow - without whom no election programme is complete - analyses the results with his latest high-tech graphic device.
