Animal Planet
(Wednesday 23.00)

always a successful
part of the film.

in this clever,
small-scale
supernatural story.

mystical powers of

centuries to meet
their. ancestors.

Janet Street-Porter
before she sets off
for the Pyrenees
mountains.
E
Rubicon 5
(Thursday 20.30)

computer-driven cars
and in-flight
ten-pin bowling.

There and Back Again
(Sunday 22.00)
Paul Theroux's
account of his

back makes ideal
material for this
evening's travel
slot.
Based on his own
novel, the progress
of his journey on
the railways of
Europe and Asia
(Victoria station,
Paris, Istanbul...)
acts as a
fascinating
travelogue as the
inhabitants
gradually shift from
the West to the
East. |
