6: Suppose that all animals and all plants are represented by the branches of a tree ... the tree of life.
On the Galapagos Islands, Darwin observed subtle differences between the inhabitants of one island and those of another.
But he nearly missed the significance of the little brown finches. Some had beaks thin enough to pick up seeds from the hard ground; others had beaks thick enough to crack a nut. Here was the clue which led him directly to the theory of natural selection.
A series of six programmes 4:Arrochar- The Cobbler
A small but spectacular mountain, less than 30 miles from Glasgow, it has been beloved by generations of climbers from the city, and in the 30s had the character of a 'working-class mountain'. It provides high-grade snow climbing in winter and severe rock climbing in summer-but anyone with strong legs and sound boots can reach the top.
Sandy Cousins and his daughter Eilid (age 15) guide us on the mountain, with a demonstration of climbing by young Glaswegians Norrie Muir and Arthur Paul , and of rock climbing by another Glasgow pair, John Cunningham and Willie Gorman.

Presented by Angela Rippon this week: The Eskdale Show
One of the smallest yet most traditional of our agricultural shows is held annually in the heart of the Lake District. It is dominated by the local sheep, the Herdwiek. Phil Drabble and Gordon Beningfield watch the judging and attempt to unravel some of the rituals and customs that have evolved. Joe Henson, who runs his own flock of Herdwicks, explains why it is so important to conserve this breed.
Highlight of this lakeland day is the hound trail. Dogs from all over Cumbria compete on a gruelling course run over the fells. How is it that they return after ten miles' hard running scarcely out of breath?
