After years of attacks on Asian families and the death of Richard Everitt, a white boy killed in an attack by Bengali youths, the press dubbed the Regent's Park estate in north London the most racially explosive area in Britain. But now new developments are emerging to bring the divided white and Bengali communities together. First Sight relates the experiences of families who live on the estate and meets the people working to build common ground between them.

Third of six drama-documentaries.

Possibly the worst contamination incident since Chernobyl was a little-known event that began in September 1987, when two thieves broke into a disused clinic in Goiana, Brazil. They stole parts from an old machine and sold them to a scrap dealer, who noticed the metal gave off a strange blue glow in the dark. He broke the machinery open and handed out its blue crystals to members of his family. Within days they were falling critically ill and panic was spreading through the city. The crystals were caesium-137, a deadly radioactive substance, and the machine was an X-ray unit.

Andy Wilman looks at the controversial sport of classic banger racing, where drivers can crash any car provided it was built before 1968. Is it harmless fun, or the destruction of the nation's motoring heritage for the sake of cheap thrills?
