1989 is Food and Farming Year - a celebration of agricultural success.

In this week's programme, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh launches the festivities, which begin with an exhibition of rural art. 1988 was not all good news for farming. The programme looks back at the furore caused by salmonella in eggs, and asks if intensive food production should now be viewed with some suspicion.

Plus at 12.55pm the weather with Michael Fish.

In and around this ancient Dorset town, Cliff Michelmore meets Robert Goodden, one of Britain's foremost butterfly experts; Margaret Bacon, an artist specialising in banners for use in church worship and Joe Herbert who describes how he and his band ring the heaviest peal of eight bells in the country. They join with the people of Sherborne to sing their songs of praise under the glorious fan-vaulting of the Abbey Church, built in the Middle Ages, and still a breathtaking sight today.

Mysteries of the Winter Sky The winter sky is magnificent, with Orion dominant; this year there are also two of the brilliant planets, Jupiter and Mars. But there are puzzles to solve, too. For example, why was Sirius once described as a red star rather than a white one - and has Alcor, the companion to Mizar in the Great Bear, brightened since ancient times? Patrick Moore takes a look round the winner sky, and discusses some of these curious mysteries. Producer PIETER MORPURGO
