Fourteen programmes on the laws that affect our daily lives.
Introduced by John Edmunds.

Among the most antiquated and, some say, the most illogical laws we have are those limiting our responsibility for the animals we own. These laws not only result in odd decisions but sometimes fail to remedy real distress and damage.
This programme looks at these laws and their effects - some funny, some sad.
With The Marquess of Bath and the lions of Longleat.

David Fairhall and Penny Bowles cover the world of ships, boats, and the sea.

Liverpool lost prestige as Britain's North Atlantic port when Cunard switched their big passenger ships to Southampton. Liverpool seamen serving on the liners lost their jobs or moved away from Merseyside. Does this city of ships and pop songs have a stormy future? How much longer will crews go on meeting at Mabel's, the dockside pub which has been home to generations of Merchant Navy men from Liverpool?
