A Pattern of Building. Written and presented by Alec Clifton-Taylor 5: Totnes, Devon
Totnes, in a fine landscape setting on the southern edge of Dartmoor, was founded by the Saxons close to an important crossing on the River Dart. What gives Totnes its special identity is slate, quarried locally, and hung vertically, often in decorative patterns, on many of the old and originally timber-framed houses. Inside some of these houses there is a series of handsome plaster ceilings. Totnes also has, unusually for England, some covered shopping arcades known as ' piazzas ' and an ancient Guildhall, and ' while it isn't quite one of the most beautiful of our small towns,' says ALEC CLIFTON-TAYLOR, 'it is one of the most distinctive and the preservation of its individuality is vital.'

Cashing in on the Ocean
They lie around in their billions in the deeper part of the Pacific Ocean. They are roundish, blackish, smallish. They are called manganese nodules - and seldom can such dull-looking objects have excited so many scientists, industrialists and diplomats.
Though the origin and exact composition of nodules is still something of a scientific mystery, what is known for sure is that they contain enough nickel, copper and cobalt to make a multi-billionaire of anybody who could solve the technical problem of scooping them up to five km below the surface.
Nodules also pose the trickiest problem international law has ever faced. They belong to nobody, and to everybody. Last week in New York the Third United Nations Law of the Sea Conference convened for the eighth time to try and decide how these abundant riches should be fairly distributed. Does ' natural justice' require a profit-sharing operation controlled by every country in the world? Or should the seven industrialised countries that already have the technology and the wherewithal be allowed to get on with it? A collection of crumbly black rocks has become the supreme test case for the world politics of the future. Narrator FRANK WINDSOR
