One Man's Private Kingdom Narrated by GERALD HARPER
Jack Donovan has a houseful and a life-full of Princely Toys. Any one of them alone would be a marvel, a priceless and irreplaceable memory of that 19th-century art which could accept nothing but the best -and could afford to pay for it. It's a fair promise to say that you'll be delighted, intrigued, baffled, amused and maybe, just maybe, led back into that delicious dream-world which started with the first teddy-bear.

A seven-part historical series based on the life of the famous naturalist.
7: 'In the distant future, light will be thrown on the origin of Man, and his history'.
When The Origin of Species was first published, it was denounced as the work of the devil from pulpits up and down the land, and banned from university college libraries.
Scientific opinion and Christian doctrine were in open conflict about one of the most profound and basic of all mysteries - the beginnings of life on our planet. The great debate reached its climax at the famous Oxford Meeting of the British Association in 1860. Also appearing

Investigates, Discovers, Questions with JEANNE LACHARD , JENNY CONWAY MICHAEL DEAN , JEREMY JAMES JACK PIZZEY , NICK ROSS HAROLD WILLIAMSON
This week: Treatment for Fear
Almost everyone has irrational fears - of mice, aeroplanes, dogs, sex, spiders, or the dark ... But, for some, these fears are crippling.
Drugs and psychotherapy often help, but all anxiety states are very difficult to cure completely. In the last few years a growing number of people have been treated with a relatively new technique: behaviour therapy.
It's vehemently attacked by its critics for being simplistic and reducing the status of human behaviour to that of laboratory rats. But its supporters claim that it's more rational in theory and more effective in practice than traditional techniques.
Nick Ross follows and talks to three people as they try this treatment for fear.
