Young Blue is no match for the pretty trickster he falls for, as his solicitous stepmother can see all too clearly. Fortunately for the family, there is a change of heart - by whom, it remains to be seen.

'You'll feel better for a good night's sleep': perhaps that's the most familiar home remedy of all. But what is sleep? Are you getting as much as you need? If not -what can you do about it?
A Specialist in the study of sleep and dreams gives his answers and a General Practitioner talks about some of the causes of insomnia - and the remedies.
The programme also looks at the strange world of our dreams, Are they simply a fascinating side-track, or are they the vital key to why we need to sleep at all?

This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.
In the 24 hours that make up this Monday, about 620 people in these islands will die of heart disease. The figure for the equivalent Monday in January 1900, even allowing for the change in the size of the population, would have been half that. Over the last 70 years heart disease has become an epidemic.
Something must have changed: perhaps it's our habits or perhaps it's in our environment. What has changed, and what we can do about it, is what this programme sets out to discover.
