This week's programme in the series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet.

The life history of a moth makes a fascinating story, and some of the larger and more brightly coloured ones have an additional attraction in that they produce silk for the cocoon in which they undergo their final metamorphosis.
One species in particular has been used by man for the production of silk, originally in the Far East and later in the West. The story of this sericulture is as intriguing as the natural history of the moths themselves.

At Erith on the South Bank of the Thames the marshes are to be a wasteland no more. Thamesmead, a new town to house 60,000 people, is in creation.
A project this size may face many problems through the year. Delays due to weather, errors in design, difficulties in management, strikes. How will the contractors cope? Will the young couple hopeful for their new home have the promise kept, or must they wait while a thousand and one problems are solved in the building of 'Thamesmead, Town for Tomorrow'?
