- The Cinderella ServiceA2
The Cinderella ServiceThe most important cause of death among the under-45s is accidental death. Need it be?

The Fight for the Wild PlacesTonight Nicholas Harman reports from the edge of the Dartmoor Park on the opening shots being fired in a public enquiry which starts next week in Exeter about plans to expand mining operations which could affect this part of the Devon countryside for the next 50 years; shots whose echoes can be heard in other National Parks, as mining companies are being given permission to prospect for valuable minerals. - China - Two into One Won’t GoA7
China - Two into One Won’t GoIn 1949, Gen Chiang Kai-shek fled mainland China for Taiwan.

Review of the Year: The Sights and Sounds of ‘71If you worked in at UCS, or went on strike at the Post Office; if you waited for the sack at Rolls-Royce; if you can't understand decimals; if you used to read the Daily Sketch, or insured your car with the V & G; if you tried to follow the great debate, or missed out on your school milk - then this programme is about you. The rest of us lived through it all - Ibrox, Ulster, Europe, Etna, Rhodesia, Pakistan. Harold Wilson wrote a book - Ted Heath spoke French. Rudi Dutschke went home - Chay Blyth came home. Mao came in - Chiang went out. Arsenal the double - Trevino the treble. And Harvey Smith gave us the sign of the times. - Aflevering 21A21

The Price of Your CarThis year nearly 100,000 people will be casualties on our roads. There are ways to reduce accidents - but they all cost money. Would you be prepared to pay £250 extra to have a safer car? Or be willing to be stopped at random by a policeman for a breath test? Or be legally compelled to wear a seat belt? Tonight Panorama looks at the rising cost and suffering of road accidents, and asks what price are we prepared to pay to make our cars and roads safer?
