Driving Forces of Nature
If you missed the bus when everyone else was learning to drive, don't give up — it's never too late, as harassed mother-of-three,
Gillian Reynolds found out. She tests a week's crash course in Ross-on-Wye.
Another driving force of nature is the Victoria Falls, the mile-wide torrent of the Zambesi River. Anne Gregg wonders at it, en route to a big game safari in the unspoilt Luangwa Valley of Zambia. And to win this voyage of adventure culminating in a sybaritic week on the magical island of Mauritius, there are more clues to solve in the Radio Times Holiday 90 competition.

Path to Plenty
Farmers have been seen by some as villains, poisoning food, damaging the countryside and growing fat on taxpayers' money. How did they get this reputation when 50 years ago they were heroes, saving us from wartime starvation?
Technology and ingenuity, plus political and financial support, transformed farming from depression and bankruptcy into a highly efficient industry. In a couple of decades they turned shortage into abundance.
This is the first of two films which trace the course of this silent revolution and its consequences for the countryside, what we eat and the way we live.
Narrator: John Craven. Producer MARTIN SMALL BBC Pebble Mill
