Until middle age GORDON PRICE had lived the quiet and blameless life of a Hereford farmer. Then his father died and left him a wild young horse which Gordon, at risk to life and limb and with unspoken hopes of sudden fortune, broke in, trained and entered for a race. A top jockey was engaged but unfortunately finished so late that he had time to speak only a brief sentence. ' She's useless,' he said. But, as things turned out, that was not quite the end of the story. Narrator DERYCK GUYLER

Yorkshire cameraman Sid Perou , who has travelled the globe on caving explorations, penetrates the mysterious world beneath the Pennines, and takes us where television has never been before. It's a world seen previously only by that exclusive and obsessive band of explorers - Britain's 20,000 cavers.
White Scar
White Scar, Ingleton, is a popular ' show-cave ' visited by thousands every year. But beyond the barriers a full scientific exploration is being conducted in galleries the public never see. The story so far from geologist Tony Waltham , the project director.
