Weather

The change of life comes to all women. For some it happens quickly and easily, but for others it can be a distressing period in their lives. When does it start and what happens; indeed, why does it happen at all?
The first programme in the new series deals with the menopause and its problems.

The people, the stories, and the action behind the one commodity no one can do without-money. Together with the Money-Minder - a regular feature with up-to-the-minute news of the Stock Market. A weekly look at the investment world.

To herald the season and as a tribute to the millions of gardeners who propagate the most popular of flowers, Gardeners' World begins the 1971 series with two special editions about roses.
Introduced by Percy Thrower

(Part 2, next week: Percy Thrower on the practical aspects of rose care.)

(All the Gold in the World)
The last of three films directed by Rene Clair
Starring Bourvil, Philippe Noiret, Claude Rich

This rural comedy about a cantankerous peasant and his dimwitted son who prevent a group of speculators from turning their village into a new township is quick, witty and unmistakably Clair.
It also gives British viewers a chance to see the famous French actor Bourvil at his best.
