Barry Bucknell's weekly do-it-yourself TV guide to jobs in the home.

The drawing-room in the lower flat (the one with trench windows on to the garden) needs an electric fire instead of the old and broken fireplace. At the same time bookshelves can be fitted in the recesses beside the chimney breast, giving a pleasant appearance to the whole wall. In the drawing-room upstairs. a lot can be done with do-it-yourself parquet flooring.

Introduced by Peter Scott with John Warham.
Many birds live the greater part of their lives at sea and only go ashore in the breeding season to lay their eggs. George Edwards, on a British Antarctic Survey voyage, and John Warham, on an Australian scientific expedition to Macquarie Island, had an excellent opportunity to shoot many beautiful pictures of albatrosses, skuas, petrels, and penguins.

There are two young constables in each car, ready to deal with trouble as it happens.
