St Mary Mead is a typical English village. It has a cricket pitch, a pond, garden parties and a grapevine that leads right to Miss
Marple's cottage door. All this rural Englishness is disrupted when a Hollywood film crew arrives, noisily introducing inflated egos, blatant bitchiness and cold-blooded murder. Miss Marple, of course, investigates.
Director Guy Hamilton

Each year, 200 million birds are killed by Italian hunters. Anything from songbirds to majestic birds of prey is a potential target. The Italians are not just killing their own birds but vast numbers of migratory species heading for the rest of Europe. Joan Bakewell goes to Italy - the land of St Francis, the patron saint of ecology and animals - and talks to both the hunters and impassioned conservationists who say that if something isn't done soon, there won't be much birdsong left in Italy.
