A series of programmes on some of the most extraordinary facets of the animal world; with Tony Soper Migration
The magical mystery tours of many animals span the globe. Swallows fly a distance equivalent to the moon and back during their lifetime, and they will return to the same nest site year after year. What are the advantages of jet-setting? What kind of navigational clues do inter-continental travellers use? TONY SOPER follows our swallows south to see where they spend the winter.

But many go bust. John Swinfield talks to some of the men who've gone it alone, and lived dangerously.

The programme in which the BBC hands over air-time to the public. Tonight:
The Mobile Home Residents' Association present: A Place to Live
There are 250,000 people living on residential mobile home sites. Contrary to popular opinion they are not gypsies, tinkers, or clothes-peg manufacturers, they are hard-working, responsible members of society who in terms of housing stand on their own two feet. A Place to Live shows the contribution the mobile home can make towards getting the homeless off the streets, and looks at some difficulties encountered by mobile home residents.
Made by The Mobile Homes Residents' Association with the help of the BBC'S Community Programme Unit.
