3: Dinorwic Slate Quarry with Kenneth Hudson
Under the shadow of Snowdon stands a gaunt stone fortress but this building had no military purpose. It was, in fact, the head-quarters of the Dinorwic Slate Quarry. Here in this isolated valley was a totally self-contained industry which trained its own skilled men and maintained its own massive machines - the Welsh slate industry.

Artist in a Cornish Harbour
Jack Pender lives in Mousehole, a village which he feels has lost its identity. In his paintings of its boats and harbour he recaptures the feeling of those days when it was still a thriving fishing port. ' No matter what I start out to paint, it always ends up a boat.'

A Noah's Ark for Europe
How can we save our wild animals?
As animal habitats continue to be destroyed, traditional methods of conservation could prove inadequate. We must find new and additional methods.
Threatened species like the otter, lynx, eagle owl and wolf, and many others, must be taken into captivity and bred effectively into large colonies. Some breeders have already taken the initiative and are achieving remarkable results.
The programme includes recent work with Sir Peter Scott at
Slimbridge, with Philip Wayre at the Norfolk Wildlife Park, and in zoos and animal reservations in England, Sweden and Germany. Narrator FRANK GILLARD
Editor BRUCE NORMAN
