Thirty years ago National Geographic made an amazing programme which broke new ground in science filmmaking and made people look at their bodies in a completely different light. The Incredible Human Machine premiered to amazing ratings and sold like hotcakes in a nascent home video market - and it's still selling on DVD today. But it's definitely time for an update - and this is it! Just imagine what we can do now. We'll see images from new medical technologies that will virtually turn us inside-out and expose how we function; down to our very cells; down to the molecular level. In 30 years medical imaging technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds. Now the imagery is 3D - and even 4D - in incredible crisp detail. We will reveal the miraculous everyday workings of the human machine - how we eat breathe and walk on two feet. We are nature's finest specimen and science's greatest mystery; skin sight sound breath circulation digestion muscles bones reproduction and the brain are just some of the topics that will be uncovered in ways not previously thought possible. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler's legendary vocal cords give us intimate insight into how we produce sound. At the same time we will reveal medical mysteries that were previously unsolved: how we smell see and even process emotion.

She can't (and won't) drive 55.... Stephen King's novel about the twisted love affair between a boy and his car gets transferred to the screen, courtesy of suspense master John Carpenter. Although lacking some of the more outré supernatural elements of the source material, this high-octane cinematic tune-up more than delivers the goods, horror-wise (Christine's midnight rampages will never be forgotten)--as well as being a sly exposé of the random cruelties within the high-school pecking order. Keith Gordon (who has gone on to become a stellar director in his own right, with films such as A Midnight Clear and Mother Night to his credit) gives a wonderfully controlled central performance. Carpenter's atmospheric original score is backed up by a well-chosen collection of rock classics, including George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" (the titular character's all-too-apt theme song). --Andrew Wright
