An exciting approach to the art of making pictures with Tony Hart and Margot Wilson
Gardens
As the ping-pong ball amazes itself on being blown about, the folded ink drawings flutter by. Pot plants shelter under the cardboard conservatory as Morph exercises his green fingers. Meanwhile Chas puts a sock in it and Tony has trouble with some little people from Zurich!

with Desmond Wilcox
The first of two programmes The Darkness
Connie [text removed] , just 11 years old, happily running home having spent her Christmas money in the shops, was knocked down - and nearly killed - by a taxi in Glasgow. She needed emergency brain surgery twice in the first 24 hours; her life hung in the balance. Then she entered that near lifeless state - coma. For weeks after the operations a dedicated hospital team, her mother, her relatives, school friends, and even the pop star Shakin' Stevens, strove to break through and penetrate the silent, dark world which enclosed her. Coma is not a medical form of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale. When the victim recovers consciousness there is no magic ending, only a long - and sometimes painful -
Progress towards a full place back in the life so nearly lost. For Connie, and her devoted mother, the journey starts on the street where she was knocked down, continues in hospital and will go on for most of her life.
