LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT: Thurs 5th July

Greetings from the London Tonight team, occupying the same space in the same city in the same land, as usual.

But tonight, our theme is another country.

Ronke reports on the money transfer business which existed to dispatch large quantities of cash for large numbers of people to ... other countries. It is a common practice for many immigrant workers and even second and third generation ethnic minority families who still have loved ones in another country. But the money has gone missing. Possible millions of it, reducing thousands of people here, and abroad, to a state of distraught panic. The company say "sorry" .
Ronke's investigation will find out if it's that simple.

Many of you set off on a tube journey this morning as office workers or shop-keepers or students. But, when a nightmare struck hundreds of feet underground, you turned into video journalists. A derailment sent several people to hospital but, fortunately, none have died. But what country do the people who left debris on the line, live in? And it was on Metronet's manor that it happened, a company we increasingly think occupies a space on this earth that few of us can fathom!

Race tracks are for race cars and Great Ormond Street Hospital is for poorly children. Two very different worlds. Hear how the geniuses of GOSH saw something in what the F1 pit-crews do for Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikenon that could help them help the kids. Brilliant stuff with Tamsin Roberts at the wheel - or in the white coat.

Hairspray premiers in Leicester Square with John Travolta dressed, not as another country but as another gender. Steve is there.

And Rupert Everett, who stared in Another Country, one of my all time favourites, has written an autobiography: hilariously naughty and emotionally frank. Rupert is with us tonight and I think you ought to be, too.

Unless you're off to another country in which case .. au revoir!

If not, see you at 6.

Alastair and Tamzin.
