For 20 years, the image of the earth floating in space has been adopted by environmentalists to suggest the planet's wholeness and vulnerability, as a challenge to industrialism and consumerism. But the meaning of the icon is changing with the advent of global telecommunications and finance. As part of Science Week, Horizon explores the implications of these changes and asks what the future holds. See today's choices.

Fourth of a six-part series which looks at the sexual history of the British Empire.

The personal integrity of officials of the Empire was regarded as a vital qualification for the job. But given the many sexual opportunities on offer, the archetypal pure young man, sprung from the playing-fields and chapels of the British public schools, was soon to be tainted by scandal.

BBC Book: Ruling Passions, a book written by Anton Gill to accompany the series, is available price £15.99 from booksellers.

Followed by: Conundrum
A daily series of visual puzzles presenting everyday objects as they have never been seen before.
