What's for dinner? Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and two vegetables followed by apple pie? Or a slice of high-grade protein, some carbohydrate together with a little fat, and various vitamins with mineral salts thrown in for good measure? Whichever way you look at it a well-balanced diet is essential for the maintenance of a healthy body. In today's programme Professor W. S. Bullough talks about what food you eat and why you eat it.

Dan Mannix, an American who is willing to try most things once (including sword-swallowing and fire-eating), decided to train two eagles to hunt like falcons. His film shows the training of the eagles and their successful hunting of giant Mexican lizards, which Mannix was commissioned to bring back alive to American zoos.
