In the final years of Dr Hastings Banda's dictatorship, the English Shakespeare Company toured Malawi with a production of Macbeth. For the Malawians, the 400-year-old English drama had a powerful contemporary resonance. Tonight's programme interweaves the story of the tour with a portrait of Malawian poet Jack Mapanje during his exile in New York. Mapanje's return to his native land is documented in African Footsteps tomorrow at 8.00pm.
(Africa's Big Game is at 9.30 pm)

4: Summer Fish and Shellfish. Fish is simple to prepare and ideal for a light summer lunch. Using crabs fresh from the Norfolk coast, Delia prepares a salad with a herb and caper vinaigrette and rosti crab cakes served with pickled limes. And there's a mouth-watering recipe for prawns marinaded in a hot and sour sauce.

Kenya's Amboseli National Park is a victim of its own success. It now has so many elephants that they are beginning to pose a threat to the local Maasai.
The programme explores the roots of this problem, tracing the history of African wildlife through rare archive photographs and early film footage.
Meanwhile, elephant biologist Cynthia Moss is tackling the problem the park now faces: how do you save these famous elephants when they are intent on destroying their own home?
