Jerry Bruckheimer directs his cut of the National Trust series, Tony Blair has a nasty incident on the train, Arsene Wenger has a few things to say to the Manchester United squad as he wanders the touchline at their training ground, focus at Michael Portillo's dinner party is now at what is happening under the table, Geoff Hoon has got his toys out, and we learn just what America had in mind for Cuba in 1962.
