A series of ten programmes 8:Pests and Weeds
Nothing distresses the amateur more than a garden full of weeds. Any plant -be it wild or a previous crop - that grows where it is not wanted, and competes for light and food with plants placed there by the gardener, is a weed. The most successful weeds are good at survival and reproduction -usually more hardy than your prospective crop. Weed control is closely connected to the incidence of pests and diseases. Where weeds give cover, the fungal types which need warmth and humidity will prosper, and pests can find safe hiding-places for their dormant and breeding stages. Hand weeding is the most selective form of weed-killing, and the kindest to plants and crops. Chemicals can also play their part -but sensible cultivation will help to reduce the problem, too.

The Price Fixers
For two-and-a-half years most High Street price increases have had to be approved by the Price Commission - a band of 700 civil servants monitoring industry's prices up and down the country. But what has price control done to stem inflation? Does the Price Commission actually save the British housewife any money?
James Bellini and Alan Watson examine the company books and Industry's claim that price control has been a costly mistake. With BILL KERR ELLIOTT and JOHN SWINFIELD

Six tall stories on the Road to Wembley with Story 2: The Fryer's Tale
There was a fryer, known throughout the town,
Whose shop sold fish and chips of great renown,
For help and haddock, people to him ran,
A veritable saint: they called him
Stan.
