1989 is Food and Farming Year - a celebration of agricultural success.
In this week's programme, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh launches the festivities, which begin with an exhibition of rural art. 1988 was not all good news for farming. The programme looks back at the furore caused by salmonella in eggs, and asks if intensive food production should now be viewed with some suspicion.
Plus at 12.55pm the weather with Michael Fish.
