'You've changed him, you've fed him, you put him down and - he just starts crying again.' The sound of a baby crying is a fact of life for all new parents, but some babies seem to cry and cry for no reason at all, creating a vicious circle in which the baby gets even more frustrated and the parents feel even less able to cope. Claire Woolford looks at the problem of the 'crying baby' and discusses safety in the home with a health visitor. Claire Rayner answers a viewer's letter.

A series of six films

The Court of Lord Lyon in Scotland has its origins in the 12th century when knights first used distinguishing marks on their surcoats for easy identification in the heat of battle.

As Lyon Clerk and Keeper of the Records, Malcolm Innes is responsible for maintaining a priceless collection of heraldic records dating back to the 16th century. He also helps Lord Lyon King of Arms in the daily administration of what is still a very active heraldic court.

His duties as Marchmont Herald are principally ceremonial and culminated in his recent attendance on The Queen, with the other heralds, at the installation of Prince Charles as a Knight of the Thistle at St Giles's Cathedral, Edinburgh.

by JEAN ANOUILH. With
The 'Young Man' in Jean Anouilh's version of the famous historical romance is Roland, the legendary hero who fought with 1,000 men in an ambush at Roncevaux, protecting the retreat of the Franks from Moorish Spain. A tender love story links him with his hostage Aude, the beautiful Saxon princess he has won from the 'Lion', his uncle, the Emperor Charlemagne. In spite of all the clashes of arms, thundering hooves of cavalry charges, burnings and mass executions, Charlemagne emerges as a great human (sometimes even humorous) character, whose amusements include pitting his own strength in contests of swimming, wrestling, sword-fights - and women...
