It can also be very efficient - but perhaps not in the way British farmers and environmentalists imagine. Plus the weather for the countryside at 12.55pm with Bill Giles.

Toby: Who Cares?
Toby [text removed] was born in Nottingham on 15 January 1987, a normal healthy non-identical twin. At 3 months he developed Reyes syndrome and suffered severe brain damage. His twin sister was unaffected. At 11 months, Toby's parents had to face the agonising fact that they were unable to care for him themselves. This decision brought relatives, foster parents, social services and a charitable home in Kent into Toby's life.
Everyman looks at the dilemmas faced by everyone concerned in trying to decide what is best for Toby. Producer PAT HOLLAND
Everyman editor JANE DRABBLE (R)
