In Search of Pegasus
The horse is perhaps the most highly-prized of domestic animals. Today its usefulness has faded, but more effort and money is spent on trying to produce a perfect specimen than ever before, especially in the breeding and training of racehorses.

Tonight from BBC North West: Salt - and the Cheshire Wyches
Brian Redhead visits a unique part of Britain - the Cheshire salt-field. Northwich, Middlewich and Nantwich are built on, and have occasionally fallen into, a salt lake - a dead sea 500 feet below ground and 200-million years old; they got their 'wych' suffix ('salt town') in medieval days. But the stuff we sprinkle on fish and chips is the chemical basis of some of our biggest industries, an ingredient of family tragedy and of fierce commercial competition.
Film reporter Frank Mellor also visits Britain's only deep salt mine, which produces the rock salt to thaw ice from our wintry roads.

In last Sunday's programme Come Back
Mozart Christopher Hogwood explained why he and The Academy of Ancient Music are trying to rediscover the style of playing which Mozart expected for his music, a tradition that has been lost for almost 200 years.
' Mozart didn't exist in a vacuum,' says Hogwood, ' and we have to understand the influence of his now less well-known contemporaries. They were experimenting in styles of composition which Mozart adopted.'
This programme includes music by J. C. Bach , who taught Mozart in London, and Vanhal, who played in a string quartet with Haydn, Dittersdorf and Mozart.
J. C. Bach Overture: La Calamita de' Cuori
Mozart Divertimento for wind instruments, in F
Vanhal Symphony in G minor

Good or Bad?
'... before I entered the Cabinet, I was involved in a brief liaison with a married woman who became pregnant.... I would implore the Honourable Members and the media to let these facts speak for themselves ...' The confession and resignation of Canada's Solicitor-General and one of her most promising politicians, made last year before Parliament and the nation on television. Good or bad? ' Television in the House forces Ministers to be on their toes and members of the Opposition not to ask stupid questions ...' PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, January 1979.
' Personally, it is advantageous to me that TV cameras are in Parliament but I don't find that good.' CHANCELLOR SCHMIDT, October 1978. ' It makes good sense that governmental business is public business and it ought to be open.' us SENATOR ROTH, January 1979.
