... or, for this week only, The World Beneath Us
Narrated by David Attenborough
A worm's eye view of life underground. Using special camera techniques, we travel down a mole tunnel to see how a mole excavates and how it catches worms; we see the tiny animal forms that live in the watery film around soil particles; we see species so numerous that there can be up to 20 million of them under each square metre.
It was in 1777 that Gilbert White drew attention to the actions of earthworms in improving soil fertility. Two centuries later, scientists are still unravelling the mysteries - and discovering the importance - of earthworms and the animal community that makes up The Underground Movement

rehearses students in scenes from Mozart's Don Giovanni (English translation by EDWARD J. DENT)
Repetiteur JEFFREY TATE
Another chance to see the third of six classes in which Sir Geraint works on scenes from Mozart's Don Giovanni. How do you make a stage struggle look convincing? How do you act a love scene without excessive sentiment or vulgarity? How do Don Giovanni and his servant Leporello (a role particularly identified with Sir Geraint) establish and develop their relationship? Tonight there is a chance to see the detailed work that goes to make a performance.
