In two centuries man has wiped out most of the unique wildlife of the Seychelles Islands. Tony Beamish went there to see what was left. Among other things he watched an 'extinct' bird-the black paradise flycatcher-building its nest, and the Seychelles magpie robin, one of the rarest birds in the world, happily feeding round the Creole houses.

Sunday, September 3, 1939, is a day most people in this country remember: whether it was Mr. Neville Chamberlain's momentous announcement that Britain was at war with Germany or whether it was some personal involvement or recollection.
This programme traces the twenty-four hours from midnight on the Saturday, which began with a thunderstorm, to midnight on the Sunday when Britain was at war.
The story is told largely through the recollections of a widely assorted selection of people who were around at the time: evacuees with their little bundles and their name-tags, reservists in their newly un-mothballed uniforms, diplomats involved in the last hopeless flurries of activity, a broadcaster whose job it was to help break the news to a confused public, a policeman whose job was to try to control that confusion.
