A programme for enthusiasts We Always Race 'em Hungry
Tonight author and animal lover Phil Drabble goes to the Loweswater and Brackenthwaite Annual Show to see what explains the passionate interest of Lake District people in hound trailing.
A thousand enthusiasts stand in the rain of an autumn day to watch 20 hounds race each other over a mountain trail of aniseed for a top prize of £10. Is the strength of the sport the betting, a liking for dogs, or the urge to breed a winner whatever the cost?

In this series of highly personal films, Eric Newby, writer and traveller, says:
I didn't know life would be like this!
Adventure, travel, the challenge of the unpredictable: these are the ingredients of ERIC NEWBY'S life. As a boy he sailed round the world, apprentice on the last of the four-masted sailing ships carrying grain from Australia. He has climbed mountains in Nuristan, canoed down uncharted rivers with Red Indians in Canada, and travelled to every part of the world.
In this film Eric Newby looks back not too seriously at some of the adventures in his extraordinary life. With the aid of many of his own photographs of his travels, he expresses his belief that to make the most of life one must grasp the opportunities it offers - not only in distant places but close to home and around us.
