Bert and the Ben. In 1932
Bert Bissell from Dudley climbed Ben Nevis for the first time. In 1945 he built a Peace Cairn on the summit to commemorate the lives lost in the Second World War. His 100th ascent in 1988 was a remarkable feat - for by then Bert was 86 years old. John Yates reports on Bert's obsession with mountains and his lifetime's work for peace.

The third of six programmes examining the elemental cycles vital to life.
The Nitrogen Cycle.
David Bellamy begins his trip around the nitrogen cycle in the Surrey hospital where he languished as a child suffering from acute kidney failure. He ends it by juggling with dung and urine in a Dutch pig farm. In between he explains how nitrogen is essential to all forms of life, but warns that too much of it can kill. To avoid poisoning the earth, the water and ourselves, the nitrogen cycle - in the state it is in at the moment - must be restored to safe dimensions.
Producer John Percival
