David Gower presents his cricketing magazine from Edgbaston at the conclusion of the third Test, featuring reaction to and reflection on this crucial game in the six Test series which stood at one all after England's hard won second Test success at Lord's - their first Lord's win against the West Indies for 38 years. Jimmy Adams 's video diary adds further spice to views of the West Indies tour, Graham Gooch gives a master class on attacking batting, and Mark Little goes off in search of cricket balls. There's also an investigation into the mysteries surrounding first-class cricket pitches, a preview of this weekend's Benson and Hedges Cup final between Kent and Lancashire, and a special look at minor counties.

The return of the series that explores the ethical issues surrounding social policy, and the gap between theory and practice.
Following the format of previous series, imaginary case studies are devised representing real-life experiences.
Professionals working in the field are guided through each fictional case and questioned on the decisions they would make. The technique enables participants to talk openly without betraying client confidentiality, while moderators try to test the thinking behind the positions being taken.
The first programme in the three-part series aims to discover under what circumstances social workers would remove a baby from its parents. Does their work ever compromise an individual's right to privacy? And how far will they go to protect endangered children? Is it, for example, excessive to set up a covert filming operation and record parents' lovemaking in the search for evidence of risk to a baby? Moderator Helena Kennedy QC tries to walk the line between personal liberty and the protection of innocent children.
(The second programme is tomorrow at 7.30pm)

The magazine series that aims to offer the ultimate guide to the countryside.
To fans of the television series All Creatures Great and Small, the Yorkshire Dales are Herriot country. Swaledale in particular was a source of inspiration to the best-selling author known as James Herriot and, following his death earlier this year, his son and daughter take to the hills to explore one of his favourite walks. Also in tonight's programme, Simon King picks his way through the dense undergrowth of countryside law. Pitfalls for the unwary range from the illegality of picking up a fallen bird's egg to dogs committing trespass.
Once again cartoon character Mr Crabtree goes fishing, this time for pike, and Ray Mears turns his canoe into a makeshift shelter.
Drama starring Michele Lee, Rick Schroder
A tale of two brothers - Anthony, the sweet, home-loving boy, and Johnny, a violent thug. Almost inevitably, Anthony is provoked into killing his brutal sibling. He will only escape jail if his mother tells the truth about Johnny, thereby besmirching his memory.
