A series of programmes featuring natural history films from other countries. Colony Z
In 1936 an unknown schoolteacher Lance Richdale began a remarkable study of the yellow-eyed penguins of New Zealand's Otago Peninsula. Richdale's study lasted for 18 years. In time he gave a number to every bird, and a name to each colony. But in Colony Z was an old male penguin who was to become better known to him than all the others - he was Z12. This film by NZTV is a re-creation of Richdale's life as he follows the fortunes of Z12 and his mate Z115 in their final season together. (R)

This week Roger Finn reports on The Kids on the Block. 'I'm not "confined" to anything, especially my wheelchair', says 12-year-old Mark Riley , who describes his 'cruiser' as 'getting me where I want to go'. Mark is in fact a life-size puppet with a handicap, cerebral palsy. He is one of a troupe of characters called The Kids on the Block. The idea has just been brought from America, and their shows for children are about being disabled. Producer NICK HEATHCOTE Editor ERIC ROWAN
