Mammals of the Sea
Unlike man, who left the sea to take to the land, dolphins went the other way millions of years ago. Who made the better choice? How do whales find their way underwater when the sea is murky? Do these underwater mammals communicate with one another? How can anyone who is interested in studying dolphins become involved?
Dr Horace Dobbs , honorary director of International
Dolphin Watch, is with Sue MacGregor to answer your questions.
Produced by the Woman's Hour unit

A six-part series
1: The Troubled Brotherhood On the face of it, the British trade union movement is in a mess. Its membership is failing, it is under attack from the Government, and it's short of money. The question posed by a TUC General Secretary 20 years ago - what are we here for? - is being asked today with even greater urgency. Peter Paterson asks whether 19th-century ideals and structures are relevant to the problems facing the unions in 1984, and looks at the changes some of them are now making. Music performed by SAM RICHARDS and TISH STUBBS Producer MARGARET BUDY

Man of Aran
A portrait of the pioneer documentary film-maker Robert Flaherty
Robert Flaherty was born in Iron Mountain, Michigan, on 16 February 1884. He became one of the great pioneers of documentary cinema with such films as Nanook of the North and Louisiana Story. But perhaps he is best known for his finest film Man of Aran, a starkly realistic portrayal of life on the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland, made 50 years ago in 1934. Flaherty is rightly regarded as one of the founding fathers of film documentary, but what were his particular achievements, and can his influence still be felt on today's documentary director? Christopher Cook assesses Flaherty's influence on the cinema, with contributions from his biographer
ARTHUR CALDER-MARSHALL , his cameraman JOHN TAYLOR , his editor JOHN MONCK and the film critic
