Russian Steps. Michael Palin 's trek, in the early nineties, from North Pole to South Pole takes him through a disintegrating superpower. Travelling by bus, train and barge from Leningrad, now St Petersburg, to Odessa in 12 days, he observes the hypocrisy of public penury and private plenty, consumes a large amount of home-made vodka, and revives his energies by being encased in medicinal mud at a crumbling sanatorium.

Gardeners' World 8.30pm BBC2
Alan Titchmarsh lays down the decking in his redesigned Hampshire garden in the second programme of the series. However, he does have time for a jaunt to the South of France and a leisurely investigation of mail-order cuttings and a new persistent insecticide in some commercial composts.
Meanwhile, his fellow presenters Stephen Lacey and Gay Search visit a seaside plot in Glamorgan and a rooftop in north London where a stylish array of containers has been used to create a two-tier garden that features the whole of the capital as a backdrop.
