This is the name given to New Zealand by the Maori explorers who came to the country six or seven hundred years ago.
In today's introductory programme, Bruce Stewart and Inia Te Wiata show something of the great variety and contrast of New Zealand geography. The early Maori settlers would not recognise their country today. The face of the country, its animal life, and vegetation have been transformed in the last hundred years. To this transformation New Zealand owes its prosperous farming industry and its high standard of life.

A series of wild-life programmes.
Introduced by Peter Scott.

Heinz Sielmann's latest film gives a fly's-eye view of the insects and plants of a meadow in high summer. Once again this amazing German cameraman shows - as he did in his Woodpecker film - the secret details of wild-life that our untrained eyes so easily overlook.

[Photo caption] Donald Houston as Evan and Jane Baxter as Stella in "September Tide" by Daphne du Maurier

"You never know what will happen with a September tide. They're damned tricky things - " Behind this literal comment of one of the characters in tonight's play lie further reaching implications and complications. To the house of Stella Martyn, set idyllically on the Cornish coast come her newly-married daughter, Cherry, and newly acquired son-in-law, Evan. He, an established artist in his late thirties, with a somewhat cynical view of the world, and Cherry, with the unorthodox upbringing of a tomboy, seem to make an uneasy pair of newly-weds.
