A Castle on the Map
Thirteen years ago Harry and Deirdre Margary were looking for a home, and happened upon Lympne Castle in Kent. Whether it was the ghosts, or the view, or the Roman Ruin, they fell in love with it - and the Castle in turn changed their lives.
Strangers insisted on looking round the Castle - so they had to open it to the public, write a guide book, and produce tea and scones. To interest visitors, Harry Margary , then a naval scientist, first reproduced an old County map of Kent - and what began as a pastime has now become his fulktime career.

The Cleanest Place in the World
With temperatures always below zero and blizzards driving at 100 mph, Antarctica is no easy place to survive in. Yet there are .now more than 2,000 scientists and engineers from 14 countries who put up with the discomforts to study in such a clean and largely untouched environment.
Most teams have come to use
Antarctica as a great natural laboratory. From here they can study just who has polluted the earth most. Using this vantage point to look through the upper atmosphere to the other side of the earth, they may learn more about the weather.
The scientific work in Antarctica is dependent on the continent remaining untouched, but already natural gas has been struck and the mountains contain some of the biggest coalfields in the world. Narrator FRANK GILLARD dealt grippingly with Antarctica

Repetitive and wasteful in total, ugly and illogical in its parts-the contemporary housing estate remains the standard solution to our housing need. Yet, whilst these estates. proliferate, the imaginative, original or sensitive designer suffers the likelihood of rejection or delay by the planning authorities. Why? And what can we do about it?
