A multi-Emmy award winner, this sophisticated sitcom starring Candice Bergen has consistently topped the ratings chart in the USA since it was first televised there in 1988. The primetime show is so influential that two years ago, when it was announced that Bergen's unmarried character was pregnant, the then vice president Dan Quayle accused it of being a symbol of the collapsing family values that were partly to blame for the Los Angeles riots.

Set in a newsroom in Washington DC, the series centres around the strong-willed, 40-ish star reporter of FYI, a successful news-magazine show. This episode, Respect, is the pilot and sees the highly-strung Murphy Brown returning to work after a brief stay at the Betty Ford Clinic.

Another chance to see the acclaimed documentary series in 26 episodes telling the history of the Second World War.
Germany, a nation stricken by humiliating defeat and emerging from economic depression, looks to one man for a resurgence of hope. That man is Adolf Hitler.
See today's choices.
(First shown on ITV)

Narrated by Laurence Olivier, produced by Jeremy Isaacs, with music by Carl Davis and featuring an interview with Traudl Junge, Hitler's private secretary - The World at War had a lot going for it. Now Thames TV's award-laden 1973 history of the Second World War returns, this time to BBC2, in all its 26-week glory.

Tonight's first episode, A New Germany, traces the emergence of the nation from its crippling defeat in the First World War. It is 1930, and a bewildered people are turning to one man to help them out of their financial and social crisis: Adolf Hitler. Home movies of Hitler and Eva Braun contrast with the sinister machinations of the Nazi publicity machine, already gearing itself up for the "final solution".
