Mysteries of the Chinese Cranes Narrated by David Attenborough
Until recently the beautiful white Siberian crane was thought to be in danger of extinction in the wild. Then, amazingly, came a report of a flock in a remote area of China. How many? Where did they come from? What of their future? Now, for the first time, a wildlife film team has reached this remote concentration of cranes and wildfowl, living on the edge of a fascinating human community in a region inaccessible by road. This is their up-to-date report on a detective story about a bird that could also now be called the Chinese crane. Written and produced by RICHARD BROCK

Policing the Cities
Britain's inner-city police forces are faced with a crisis.
The top priority is no longer fighting crime but stopping public disorder. As the police spend more time on standby to combat civil disturbance, crime is rising unchecked.
Senior officers are warning of a future where the role of the policeman serving the community may disappear altogether. With the police stretched to the limits,
Gavin Hewitt reports from one police station in Wolverhampton on the real cost of keeping the Queen's peace.

A series of four programmes for Easter exploring the great requiem masses.
Presented and conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes The words of the Latin requiem mass have been drawn together over seven centuries. Throughout their history they have inspired some of the most profound and dramatic of all musical works. Tonight's programme looks at the rich variety of expression with which composers from the Middle
Ages to the present day have responded to the challenge of the requiem, with excerpts from the works of BERLIOZ, BRAHMS, BRITTEN, FAURE, MOZART and VERDI.
Recorded at St John's, Smith Square, London with Helen Kucharek (soprano) Maddwyn Davies (tenor) David Wilson Johnson (baritone) and with BET Choirboy of the Year Daniel Ludford-Thomas (treble)

When Dr Beeching took his axe to the rural railway network few cuts were as savage, or as deeply resented, as that of the entire Somerset and Dorset system. Its staff took great pride in working this steeply-graded line over the Mendip Hills.
Before it was all swept away in 1966 Bath enthusiast Ivo Peters recorded the railway on film.

In Work and Out Fog on the Tyne
Fifty years of attempts by successive governments to halt Tyneside's decline by attracting new jobs from elsewhere have only treated the symptoms of the area's problems. The only real solution - and this will take many years - is to develop a new industrial base with the kind of dynamic which first made Tyneside a world leader. Has much progress been made in achieving this? Introduced by Professor John Goddard Film cameraman ALAN STEVENS Film editor CHRIS STEPHEN
