An exploration of the British countryside by David Bellamy The Borders
A man-made, ordered landscape, once a battlefield, for centuries the subject of fierce disputes. Today the strife continues as different species of wildlife struggle for survival.

with Peter Seabrook and Arthur Billitt at Clacks Farm
Arthur's ' modest suburban' plot continues to crop heavily, but watch must be kept for blight on potatoes and tomatoes. PETER and ARTHUR lift the trial of seven varieties of potato, look at progress in the garden for the disabled, and make a start on planting bulbs for winter and early spring flowering.

From Cornish clifftops, wild and bare,
To crowds at Weston-super-Mare; The seaside seen as history - Bournemouth, Butlin's and Torquay,

A Fair Share of What Little We Have
Our National Health Service spends 1120 per person per year, and is still seriously short of money. Tanzania can only afford El and their health problems are much worse than ours. Half the children die before the age of five.
Tanzania is pioneering its own health system - one that rejects the Western concept of medicine. Peasants with only six months training treat tropical ulcers and malaria. Men after a simple three-year course cure pneumonia and bilharzia with exactly the same competence as a doctor.
If the system works, then it promises a way of overcoming ill health in the Third World, and for us in the West too it may mean a radical rethink about the role of doctors and hospitals.
