— What is Italian food?
Well it's not deep-pan pizza filled with chicken tikka pieces nor is it lasagne served with coleslaw, as the exuberant Keith Floyd demonstrates in his new seven-part series - or "gastronomic grand tour" as he prefers to call it.
In this first programme,
Liguria and Piedmont, he sets up his famous portable stove in a market square. Using regional produce he cooks red mullet in pesto sauce, then it's on to
Piedmont where he prepares bollito - a gargantuan meat stew - and goes truffle hunting with a local farmer.

A series of portraits of unorthodox scientists.

Nobel prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling is an unlikely heretic. Twenty years ago he was hailed as "the father of modern chemistry". His heresy has been to claim that a whole range of diseases, from colds to cancer, can be prevented by taking large amounts of vitamin C. Until a few years ago his crusade was condemned but with mounting evidence about nutrition and disease, some scientists aren't so sure now.
