This week's programme in the series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it features a tiny island in the sub-Antarctic, the home of the world's largest sea-birds - wandering albatrosses. They share Bird Island with vast numbers of fur, leopard, and elephant seals; with penguins and a wide variety of other birds.
For 18 months three scientists worked through storm, sunshine, and blizzard, studying the wandering albatrosses and filming this unique record of the wildlife of Bird Island.
Filmed and directed by Lancelot Tickell (US Antarctic Research Program)

An MP is someone prepared to open bazaars, kiss sticky babies, challenge wrongs that can never be righted. This is the profession more often quoted - he will claim misquoted - than any other. He is the man all blame in a crisis yet whom in times of plenty no one thanks. What than prompts a man to become an MP? Tonight's film looks at one such man from a by-election in June 1968, and then through his first year in Parliament. The tiredness, the frustrations, the worrying over other's worries, the rewards: how he reacts is shown in this film.
