Once a year in Bengal a great
festival is held in honour of the Hindu Goddess Durga.
It's a popular gathering
time for Bengali families world-wide as they meet to worship and say prayers in
honour of one of the greatest of all the Hindi Gods. In London, the festival
starts with the construction of the goddess and her family and ends with her complete
immersion in holy water. For a while on the night of Monday October 2, the
Thames will become (spiritually at least) part of the River Ganges. Drops
of the great Indian river will be poured into London's river at Putney Bridge. The
great goddess made of clay was constructed in the British Museum and will dissolve
away completely in the Thames, leaving only a wooden structure behind. More

who's got a squeezebox? Suggs tries his hand |
What do Sheryl
Crow, Bruce Springsteen and The Gotan Project have in common? They've all
used the dulcet tones of the accordion on their records. This is part of
the reason why this instrument, popular until the end of the Second World War,
is making a comeback. Suggs takes a trip to Lewisham to meet the Allodi
family who fix and play the accordion. Links relating

holidays investigated by Nick Lawrence |
Inside Out looks at
the travellers who thought they were going on a dream holiday - a shopping trip
to the Big Apple. Instead they had to do their Christmas shopping back
in Luton. It seemed too good to be true - free flights to New York. All
they had to pay for was the hotel. The trouble was the booking was non-existent.
Nick Lawrence investigates the holiday company behind it and tracks down
the man responsible for all the promises. Links relating to this story:The 成人快手
