T BBC2 9.00 - 10.00 pm New Series China 1 / 4 The Power and the People We all know (and if we don't, the commentary here reminds us) that this could be China's century. But how does the country work? The idea of this series is to turn China from a daunting abstraction into something we can make sense of, via a series of slightly scattershot vignettes. In one of the most telling scenes, we see a Communist party official travel to a remote Tibetan village, where she tracks down the local "women's head" in a bare field and proceeds to grill her on how she has been promoting the party's line on family planning. It's like seeing a teacher admonish a child, a sense that continually emerges as we see officials nagging their charges to do better. At times it's almost comic, as if the busiest busybodies in the country had been put in charge - a nation of 1.3 billion people run as a nag-ocracy. This US/UK co-production takes an austere storytelling approach, but the picture that emerges is vivid - as is the scale of China's problems.

BBC2 11.20 - 1.00 am Darwin’s Nightmare: BBC4 on BBC2 Hubert Sauper's Oscar-nominated documentary about the Nile perch, a species introduced into Lake Victoria as an experiment in the sixties. Since then, the fish has not only wiped out the lake's other marine life but also has a tendency to consume its own young. Unfortunately, the Nile perch is also the region's most profitable export. Everyone with a stake in the market downplays the ecological disaster and ignores the fact that despite this bounty the locals are starving to death. VP 273481

This report combines the story of the investigation with speculation about Oetzi's fate.

Hi
Thanks for above - I thought I was going mad when I saw Mon 13th and Tues 14th but it's corrected for Wed 14th.
 
Hi,

Sorry about the errors, I usually read everything twice before posting I am an idiot. I must be more careful in future.

Thanks for your post, it shows one person does read it carefully and not just scan through it. I guess everyone else is more interested in the football,

Thanks again and please accept my apologies.

Ann :flowers: B :)
