The Shoot at Misson Springs
A group of small farmers, egged on by a schoolteacher, decided to revive the shoot that died out 30 years ago when the gentry departed. They gave their work to rear the birds, their diplomatic skill to curb the poachers, and each chipped in ten E5 notes - hardly enough for a serious shooting gentleman to light his cigars from. The results on any of their shoots are unpredictable; the camera followed them through a memorable day, hard, bright and short, the coldest of the winter. Commentary read by DERYCK GUYLER

Hopeful Lunatics
Two ice-skaters who train between midnight and dawn and eight soldiers who volunteer for five years of self-torture.
These may be Britain's only hope for medals in the Winter Olympics next February. Are they mad or is this the peculiar British way of building champions?
In the second of his Sporting Profiles, Vincent Hanna probes the lives and minds of ice dancers GLYN WATTS and HILARY GREEN , who have neither jobs nor money because of their devotion to their sport, and the British Biathlon team who, to train, have to stay in the Army.
