A Pattern of Building Written and presented by Alec Clifton-Taylor
2: Richmond, North Yorkshire
' Shoes with heavy soles are what you'll need for seeing Richmond,' says ALEC CLIFTON-TAYLOR , for the streets are like rocks, all of local cobbles freely gathered from the bed of the River Swale. Richmond was founded by the Normans 400 years before there was a Richmond in Surrey, and their castle still dominates the town's clustered hillside homes. The town also has a delightful Georgian theatre, ' not perhaps the most comfortable in the country, but certainly the most authentic'. In a neighbouring park there is the unusual and rarely seen Culloden Tower built in 1747 in the Gothick style. Also in the Gothick style, but 100 years later, is Richmond's railway station, closed in 1963, but now a thriving Garden Centre - ' A shining example of what enterprise and imagination can do to save an excellent building no longer required for its original purpose '.

Prisoners of Hope
Multiple sclerosis is the major crippling disease of the Western world. In the UK alone there are 50,000 victims. Apart from the human suffering, the annual cost has been estimated at over £30 million.
Yet very little is known about this disease. Intensive efforts throughout the world have failed to find either cause or cure. Research reveals more riddles than solutions. Why should MS be so common in the Orkneys and Shetlands - six times the world average - when it's almost never seen in the neighbouring Faroes? What lies behind the claim that sunflower seed oil eases symptoms? Is there a connection with measles?
Tonight's Horizon attempts to unravel some of the mystery. It finds false trails - but also some threads of genuine hope.

A second chance to see the comedy series in six episodes written by CHARLES WOOD starring
George Cole and Gwen Watford with Francis Matthews 2: Thundering Hooves
Gordon unexpectedly returns from abroad and is shattered by an unwelcome visitor from Mabel's past.
Superlative acting from George Cole and Gwen Watford. Mr Cole in a performance as compelling as Olivier's as Archie Rice. Miss Watford is a mistress of comic timing as she switches from bullying to pathos, frustration to hysteria. (THE LISTENER) Producer JOE WATERS
