Bordeaux has been sending wines to Britain since the 12th century. Because of their lighter colour the Gascons called them ' clairet ' wines and they became known here as ' claret '. Today the finest vintages command high prices both for their quality and their relative scarcity. So Is It the climate, the soil, the vines themselves or the generations of skill that have made this region of France so outstanding? In company with Jack Hill, who has been buying claret for the British market for 30 years,
Derek Cooper meets the growers and shippers of Bordeaux and tries to find out the secret behind its international success. Producer JOY HATWOOD

The Builders
The second In a series of four programmes In which basic questions about the past are given some sort of answer as a result of recent research. How was it possible for men to have built such monumental structures as Stonehenge, the Pyramids, the massive classical buildings of Greece and Rome. and medieval cathedrals that have withstood the constant erosion of climate and time? How did they manage without the elaborate engineering and scientific back-up required in the construction of today? Presenter Sean Maffett Producer nov HAYWARD BBC Bristol
