A highly-acclaimed film which celebrates the English at their favourite pastime, with Candida Lycett Green An old miner builds 13 cathedrals in his front garden. A sailor cuts his hedge into a replica of his wartime destroyer. There are old-fashioned rambling cottage gardens; formal flower-patterned gardens; gardens inhabited by gnomes; gardens made with shells; even a garden without any plants. This glowing film will make you laugh, gasp, and even shed a tear or two. Please watch it. (THE TIMES) Photography PHILIP BONHAM-CARTER Producer EDWARD MIRZOEFF

'So. You're back.... Not long from the fold and, I suspect, already wondering if the return was worth it? Not that it will be 'open arms' in all quarters. I can think of a few who'd have given their eye-teeth if you'd got on that train ... and slammed the door!'

Eight stories about the Special Operations Executive
Narrated by Michael Bryant
Florence, 11 August 1944
Partisans rise against the Germans and liberate their city. Allied armies wait outside. Links with the Allies are through a secret SOE telephone line across the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge. It was the first major triumph for Italian partisans. For three years Italians had fought alongside the Germans. But in September 1943 they effectively changed sides and Italy itself was invaded by Germany.
SOE and the Italian resistance combined to provide Allies with a vital 'Fourth Arm'. Film cameraman JOHN BECK Film editor MICHAEL FLYNN
Series producer DOMINIC FLESSATI Written and produced by VIVIENNE KING

In this special programme, chaired by Bob Wellings , GLC leader Ken Livingstone and Environment Minister
Kenneth Baker come face to face to discuss the government's controversial plans to abolish the Greater
London Council. It will be the first time the two sides have met for such a debate on television. Who's right and who's wrong? Watch and then make up your own mind. Editdr PHILIP HARDING
