The Living Isles
Third in a ten-part series exploring the natural history of the British Isles.
Beneath the Greenwood
Left to itself, the British landscape would be covered by trees - almost to the top of every mountain. Most of our native wildlife from bluebells to badgers, blackbirds and buzzards, once flourished in an ancient wild wood that cloaked the land in green. Today the fragments that survive celebrate a long chapter in our islands' natural history.

Return of the series examining the issues which shape life today.
The story of a 50-year-old love affair between the inhabitants of Tanna in the South Pacific Vanuatu islands and America.
In 1939 Jon Frum, a mysterious man with a walking stick that is said to have 'shone', appeared on one of the island's beaches announcing he was from America and that the Americans would come to the island's aid.
Three years later 300,000 Americans did suddenly arrive to set up their largest base in the Pacific. The generosity and openness of the troops overwhelmed the islanders and the 'American Dream' became a formal religion.
