From 1936 to 1946 the well-known author Henry Williamson farmed in Norfolk. By using traditional and old-established methods he restored the land he bought then for 18 an acre.
In this film Henry Williamson revisits his old farm and gives his personal account about the effects of modern farming methods on the countryside and on wildlife, and in particular upon the common partridge.

Can't your 12-year-old play the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto yet? Dr Shinichi Suzuki, the Japanese violin teacher, believes that we all start life with a musical potential which most of us fail to develop. His pupils start at 2 or 3 and, helped by their mothers, learn musical skills the same way they learn the skill of speech. The results are startling.

Last month the first course for British Suzuki teachers was held in Hertfordshire. Suzuki does not primarily aim to train professional musicians, but with first-rate violinists and teachers in short supply, his ideas have an immediate practical, as well as educational, value.

Presented by Kenneth van Barthold
with Yehudi Menuhin, Alfred Garson, Masaaki Honda Sheila Nelson
