from Clacks Farm
The smallest town garden can always find room for some alpine plants. During the winter months Arthur Billitt has been renovating an old rock border at Clacks Farm; with advice from alpine specialist Will Ingwersen they make a start on planting an Alpine Garden. Peter Seabrook will be looking at some less common vegetables, grafting a new variety on to an existing apple tree and, in the greenhouse, taking cuttings of house plants.

The Cotton Yarn
The Bank of England has initiated a study of the clothing industry to look closely at its finances and its organisation. It's argued that the troubles of the clothing industry are those of British industry, writ large. Plant, buildings and equipment are outdated; production methods compare unfavourably with those of foreign competitors; and it's said deliveries are unreliable and the quality of management is poor.
On the other hand, company owners argue that the industry has, in the last few years, gone through a period of modernisation and streamlining. It is now an industry ready to compete. However, even now, representatives of the textile industry are asking for greater protection against imports.

One of Nature's Hotels
Estuaries are the only remaining habitats in the British Isles that are still well stocked with wildlife.
In fact, estuaries can provide such a range of food and accommodation that they can be thought of as hotels that satisfy the needs of an enormous variety of unusual visitors.
Filmed over the course of a year, this programme looks at one particular estuary, the Ythan in the north-east of Scotland, from the point of view of a small group of ecologists from the University of Aberdeen. They have been asking how so many species of ducks, geese, wading and sea birds can survive on the estuarine larder. And, perhaps what is more intriguing, how have similar and competing requirements changed the behaviour and even the evolution of the guests in this hotel. Narrator IAIN CUTHBERTSON
