Introduced by Peter Scott.

One hundred years ago Charles Darwin published one of the most famous books in history - 'The Origin of Species'. To commemorate this Peter Scott and Tony Soper made an expedition earlier this year to the Galapagos Islands where Darwin made many of his observations about evolution. The expedition resulted in seven television programmes. The first shows the animals they saw at the Virgin Islands on the voyage out.

Introduced by Lord Boothby, K.B.E.

Britain in the Thirties - thousands on the dole, the Jarrow March, a Jubilee, an Abdication, and the people clinging vainly to their hopes of peace. Abroad, the rise of Hitler, the decline of the League of Nations, and the march to war.
In this programme Malcolm Muggeridge gives his own view of this bewildered and uneasy decade.
