In the first of a new series of six programmes, Susan looks at the unique relationship between man and dog. Dogs have been working with man for thousands of years, hunting, hauling, herding and providing him with entertainment and companionship. In the course of her investigations, Susan is rescued from a lake by a Newfoundland, follows a pack of hounds on foot in the fells and discovers they suffer from nasal fatigue and need to rest their noses.

Continuing the Great National Debate on Education
Reporters Jeremy James and Anna Ford

If you could afford it, would you pay to educate your child if you did not like the local comprehensive? The parents of a small school in Bristol have decided 'yes'.
Bristol Cathedral School is an 800-year-old Grammar School for bright boys selected on ability. When the Government decided to withdraw its subsidy - the Direct Grant - the school had three choices. Go comprehensive, go independent, or close. It went independent last term with fees of £666 per year.
Now bright boys from poorer homes will be excluded. Yet the school believes there will always be those who will find the money for a Grammar School education.
In this film, staff, parents and boys explain why.

Afterwards in the studio, Margaret Jackson, MP, Under-Secretary for Education, and Norman St John-Stevas, MP, opposition spokesman on Education, discuss what is happening to our schools with parents and teachers from all over Britain.
