A series of six programmes 2: The Paper-Makers
' Your main thought was to make a good sheet of paper, to keep a good weight right throughout the day.' (GEORGE ALLEN , retired paper maker)
Paper-making is now almost entirely a mechanised industry. Yet in Somerset men have been making the highest quality hand-made paper for over 400 years. Three men still carry on this tradition of paper-making, using skills and equipment which essentially have not been varied for generations and whose products are still prized. Narrated by KENNETH HUDSON

A series of outstanding and memorable programmes to mark 40 years of BBCtv
This programme, from the Horizon series, won the SFTA Award for the best specialised programme.
Horizon asked some natural history film-makers to make a film and then, in the intervening years, filmed how they did it. How, for example, do you get cameras inside birds' nests that are in dark holes in trees, or into the bottom of an insect-eating pitcher plant to film the plant's eye-view of its dinner? How do you arrange for a pike to catch a stickleback successfully in full view of the camera and lights? All this you can see ... plus the film they were making. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
