Pick of the Day
What If Putin Goes Nuclear? 8.00pm, Channel 4
Following the fall of the Berlin Wall and implosion of the USSR, Cold War nightmares about nuclear armageddon faded into the background.
It seemed like the Doctor Strangelove days were gone. But they never really went away . . .
Now, following Russian President Putin's very public decision to put his nuclear strategic forces on high alert, Jon Snow explores what had previously been considered the unthinkable.
That’s the possibility that the Russians might make use of nuclear weapons as part of the Ukrainian conflict, and the implications for the UK and the rest of the world.

He also learns about opal mining in one of the most hostile places on Earth and, together with Ellie, reveals how ambergris, a substance that starts life in a sperm whale's stomach, can prove an expensive ingredient in perfume.
