Narrated by Jeffery Boswall
The Private Life of the Harp Seal
It's an attractive and fascinating creature of the North Atlantic Ocean. It never comes to land but rears its baby on a cradle of ice off Russia, Greenland or Canada. It can dive down 600ft and hold its breath for over ten minutes by taking down specially concentrated supplies of oxygen in its blood.
Magnificently filmed in the green ethereal depths of the sea below the ice, as well as on the surface, this film penetrates the home life of the harp seal in all its aspects: birth and death; feeding and fighting; moulting and migrating.
A CBC TV production
Producer ROMAN BITTMAN
Presented by JEFFERY BOSWALL (Bristol)

The quality of life -how do you rate it? Better or worse than it was for earlier generations? Our verdict depends on too many personal variables and the biggest, of course, is age. If you're young you've got nothing to compare the present with. ' I didn't set out to strike a balance. I don't doubt - who could? - that in material things the quality of life of the huge majority has been raised to levels nobody dreamed of half a century ago. But higher material standards don't necessarily mean happier people. If they did, how do you explain today's society.' ROBBIE is Fyfe Robertson

by Leo Tolstoy: dramatised in nine parts by Jack Pulman

The Rostov family now at Troitska watched Moscow burn. Sonya and the Countess quarrelled bitterly about Nikolai and in her bitterness Sonya told Natasha that Andrei was among the wounded who were travelling with them. Immediately she went to Andrei and they were reconciled, but in spite of intensive nursing by Natasha he died. Pierre faced a firing squad but was reprieved, and met a peasant, Platon Karatayev, who gave him a new philosophy of life.

The Galilean Satellites
Jupiter's four largest moons - the Galilean satellites - are among the most interesting members of the Solar System. They were discovered by Galileo in 1610 - hence their nickname - and they have been studied by the Pioneer probes; one of them, lo, affects Jupiter's radio emission.
Patrick Moore talks about these planet-sized satellites with Dr Garry Hunt , who is involved in all the space missions and gives the latest news about the Viking probe to Mars.
