Talking to Animals
When she was two-and-a-half, Barbara Woodhouse 's nursery housed not just toys, but rabbits with broken legs, a duck with a broken wing, even
Pinky, the runt with a litter of pigs. In this series of six programmes recorded at her home and based on her book
Talking to Animals, she tells her remarkable story - of her telepathic gifts, how she learnt the Guranee Indian way of breaking in horses, her film-star cow Snow
Queen, and of course, her dogs.

The Whole of Creation The Natural History Museum in South
Kensington opened its doors to the public for the first time on 18 April 1881. Its founder, Sir
Richard Owen , thought that it should display and make evident the divine rationality of creation. The architect Alfred
Waterhouse gave that ideal expression in stone. by creating an imposing Romanesque cathedral to house the collections of ' the whole of creation '. In 1980 the Natural
History Museum won the Museum of the Year
Award for its up-to-date approach to exhibitions, employing the latest in visual and mechanical aids. In its centenary year, the Museum finds itself at the centre of a controversy over the plans to demolish several of Waterhouse's original galleries and replace them with a new exhibition space.
Paul Vaughan visits
Waterhouse's masterpiece with the architectural historian.
Mark Girourard , and discusses the changing role of the Museum with David Attenborough ,

What did
Jesus Christ actually look like? Dots it matter, or are there implications in this question for the faith of the Christian? Artists for centuries have been portraying Jesus in innumerable ways, and the most recent public exposure of the Turin
Shroud, has brought even science into the speculation. But what does Jesus look like to the men, women and children of today? Bill Wallis has been asking these questions of himself and of a number of people, including
Dr Mervyn Stockwood , former Bishop of Southwark, and Canon John Fenton. The programme can draw no real conclusions, of course, but may be a reflection of the images of our time.
