Introduced by David Attenborough A Safe Polar Bear is a Distant Polar Bear
Every year the Canadian township of Churchill in Northern Manitoba suffers an autumn invasion. An invasion of polar bears.
The reason is simple: Churchill is a seaport on the shores of Hudson Bay and the bears are waiting for the big freeze-up to move out on to the ice. There they will find their natural food; but for a few weeks of the year the Great White Bear forages around the town - and this causes problems.

Introduced by Humphrey Burton Paintings by Velazquez
This\is the last programme in the special Omnibus trilogy which explores masterpieces* by three great painters of the past, TITIAN, EL GRECO and, this week, VELAZQUEZ. Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez was born in Seville in 1599, and became known in his own lifetime as ' the painter of Kings and King of Painters'.
Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback ' by VELAZQUEZ
1599-1660
Prince Baltasar Carlos was the eldest son of Philip IV, the King in whose service Velazquez worked from 1623 until his death in 1660. This painting of the young prince who died while still a boy belongs with a series of portraits which give a clear and unsentimental picture of the Spanish
Hapsburgs whose empire had ringed the world.
' Las Meninas ', Velazquez's great composition of the Royal Family, his ' Fable of Arachne ' and ' The Surrender of Breda ' are the three paintings shown at greatest length in this Omnibus programme.
Paintings by Velazquez looks at his finest work from the unrivalled collection in the Prado Museum, Madrid, as well as paintings in the National Gallery, London, and in the National Gallery of Scotland. Taking part
