Aphrodite's Other Island
Narrated by RENÉ CUTFORTH
The Greek Goddess Aphrodite - ' Venus ' to the Romans - was born out of the sea off Cyprus but her famous statue, the Venus de Milo, was discovered on the island of Melos. It was made about 2,500 years ago when civilisation on Melos was already 2,000 years old. Professor Colin Renfrew's ten-year excavation reveals the social mechanism whereby the island became a thriving commercial power and relates this mechanism to the development of Greek civilisation as a whole.

An investigation into the welfare of farm animals in Britain.
When most of us think of a farm, we imagine contented animals in beautiful surroundings. But that image is fast disappearing: many animals now live indoors. It's been called factory-farming, and animal welfare groups claim it's cruel. But the farming industry says the intensive methods are inevitable if we want cheap, plentiful food.
