BBC North West
with Desmond Morris and Sarah Kennedy
How well do animals span the divide in Northern Ireland? In a multi-denominational school for handicapped children, just off the Falls Road, a nun teaches with a rabbit. World champion boxer Barry McGuigan trains with his dogs. The manager of a Peace Farm in Belfast, shared by Catholics and Protestants, says: 'The farm has a sort of healing influence. It is uncomplicated: animals are uncomplicated really. There is nothing sinister about animals and everybody can relate to them.'
Desmond and Sarah set out to explore how the Irish are united by the animals in their lives. En route to the Peace Farm they discover Europe's only zonkey, the clown of dogs and a cat which looks like a fox and chirps like a bird. And they attend the passing-out parade of a mascot named after a King of Ireland.

Sir George Porter , President of the Royal Society and Nobel Prizewinner, gives the 16th in this series of annual lectures before an invited audience at the Royal Institution, 'the repertory theatre of science', in London.
Knowledge Itself Is Power Sir George argues that in Britain today the pursuit of knowledge has been downgraded in deference to the pursuit of affluence. This could impoverish everyone. 'For over three centuries
Britain played a leading role in the scientific revolution that has changed our lives.
The revolution will continue but we shall not be part of it, if by pursuing only short-term goals, we forfeit the science base that makes it all possible.'
Sir George makes his own proposals for the future of British science, a future on which our civilisation depends. Introduced by Bill Cotton , OBE

Heaven on Earth? The Kibbutz Ideal
Narrator Peter France
'We are a tribe', claims a kibbutz veteran with pride. If so, it is a most astonishing tribe. It has no poverty, no snobbery, no class, no crime, no unemployment and no homelessness. It is a society of one for all and all for one. It ploughs all its profits back into social security and the common kitty.
But in the past year or two the kibbutz movement has been plunged into crisis: partly economic, and partly the result of a widespread loss of confidence from within. The tribe has 128,000 members and has been going for nearly 80 years. Forty years ago it was vital to the setting up of the state of Israel. But in the tensions of today, can it survive?

The Awakening Sun
The sun is the nearest star; but how much is known about it? Less may be known than was thought a few decades ago; there are problems of the sunspots, the strange particles called neutrinos, and the recently discovered oscillations or quivering of the whole solar globe.
Patrick Moore and lain Nicholson discuss these problems, and show photographs of last month's total solar eclipse.
