This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today

Ever since the first landships arrived at the front line in 1916, disguised as water cisterns or 'tanks,' they have dominated land warfare.
In their 50 year history from tin-pot adolescence to computerised old age, tanks have demonstrated how military thinking often lags a whole generation behind technology. It took 20 years for the Army to become convinced that tanks had outmoded the cavalry and another 20 to get its design priorities straight.
With film never before seen on television, tonight's Horizon follows this 50-year history up to the present - a present where the British Army may have an obsolete weapon on its hands without realising it.

The rolling plains in the middle of North America used to be covered with grass, and cropped by buffalo. Now little of it remains. Survival on the Prairie is a special report by NBC, based upon the research findings of the International Biological Programme, about those grasslands and the way in which they have been exploited - usually to their detriment.
