The second of three programmes
The setting sun casts a red glow on the Jordanian mountains. Down on the reef this is the most active time of day. Martha Holmes has moved on to explore a cave full of brilliant night fish. En route she is likely to encounter the formidable lion fish which traps its prey with deadly spines. Back on the surface Tony Soper monitors pictures from the remote submersible Cyclops as it's driven to depths beyond the reach of divers where sharks are thought to lurk. Overhead, storks, buzzards and eagles are on their way north from Africa to breeding grounds in Europe.

Why do rabbits have long ears? Which bird can reach speeds of up to 200mph? Which dog can run 100 miles in a day?
Desmond and Sarah visit
Peterborough for the East of England Agricultural Show, one of the biggest country fairs in Britain. It's a celebration shared by 160,000 people and around 20,000 animals.
They meet bassets and foxhounds, the biggest horses and some of the smallest, the rabbits with the longest ears and the birds which have been flown by emperors, popes and kings for a 1,000 years. And they are joined by the strongest horse team in the world: ten shire horses weighing over ten tons. The team stretches 105 feet from its first nose to its last tail. Researchers

Illuminated by underwater lights, brittle stars and 'Spanish dancers' appear among the soft corals waving in the current. Curious puffer fish inflate themselves when threatened.

Monsters and Rainbows
The 'monsters' are the dark secrets which lurk in the minds of children who've been sexually abused. Madge Bray 's ambition is to get rid of the 'monsters', and see the children drawing rainbows again. Through play (which is how all small children communicate) and through painting and drawing, she helps them to find the language to describe those dark secrets.
Madge Bray is a therapist who specialises in child abuse. She also helps run the only course in the country for other professionals - social workers, police, doctors, foster-parents - who have to deal with the problem. The course helps them explore, through role play, the terrible dilemmas they have to face in dealing with abused children. They also learn, through
Madge Bray 's remarkable lectures, how to see things from the child's point of view, to speak the child's language, and to begin the process of healing the psychological damage that's been done. Film cameramen
