First in a four-part series. In-Flight Movie
Another chance to experience life as a flying bird. Winner of four international awards, this film pioneered many of the techniques that were used in the series Supersense. Did you know that short-winged ducks are among the fastest birds and swifts are among the slowest; that woodland birds need short wings and small birds take rests as they fly; or even that migrating birds can fly at an altitude of 35,000ft?
Fly in the clouds with a flock of geese, look over the shoulder of a soaring buzzard or hedge hop with a speeding starling, and discover just how a bird's design is shaped to the life it leads - in flight. Film editor CHARLES ALDRIDGE Written and produced by JOHN DOWNER BBC Bristol (R)

What Future for Thatcherism?
The Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Margaret Thatcher , mp, in an interview with David Dimbleby.
With the shock waves of the recent political crisis still reverberating through the Government, is
Mrs Thatcher 's famous conviction and single-mindedness now more of a liability than an asset to the Tories? How does she intend to reunite her party and recover from her current unpopularity to win a fourth election victory?
And, as the Prime Minister prepares for the forthcoming EEC summit, what will her response be to the momentous events now reshaping eastern Europe? How far does Britain risk being isolated from influence on the most dramatic political changes since 1945? Mrs Thatcher answers her critics and talks from
Downing Street to Panorama. Producer GLENWYN BENSON Editor TIM GARDAM
