from Thirsk
In the heart of North
Yorkshire lies the market town of Thirsk. A steady flow of visitors over the years has enjoyed the charming cobbled market-place and the serene beauty of nearby Sutton Bank. Geoffrey Wheeler discovered its delights many years ago, before it became famous as the home of James Herriot , the vet.
He now revisits Thirsk to meet June Bindoff , curate's wife and health visitor, and Jim Wilkinson , who built a church in his farmyard.
They are joined by members of other local churches, from Sowerby and the surrounding countryside, in St Mary's Church, Thirsk, for their Songs of Praise. All my hope on God is founded
(Michael); I heard the voice of Jesus say (Kingsfold); All that thrills my soul is Jesus: Lord of the dance: Jesus is Lord, creation's voice proclaims it; Little David , play on your harp: Love divine (Blaenwera); Father in high heaven (Evening Hymn)

with Humphrey Burton The Killing Fields
Ten years ago the war in South-East Asia was drawing to a bloody close. New York Times correspondent Sydney Schanberg was among the handful of journalists in Cambodia who wrote daily accounts of the fighting as civil war gripped the country. It nearly cost him his life - and the life of his Cambodian partner Dith Pran.
Now their story has been made into a major feature film by David Puttnam. In
Omnibus this week Schanberg and Pran describe the real story behind the film as BBC cameras join the unit on location in Thailand. Narrated by journalist and Cambodian expert William Shawcross.

Reflection Nebulae
There is a tremendous amount of material spread thinly between the stars. If a star happens to pass into a cloud of denser gas and dust, it will illuminate it to produce a reflection nebula. In this programme Patrick Moore talks to Dr Paul Murdin , who is in charge of the British telescopes at the new observatory in the Canary Islands, and shows some of the latest spectacular pictures of these strange clouds in space.
