Smokers' Luck
Three out of four smokers do not die of smoking-related diseases. They may find it difficult to breathe and they may have to have limbs amputated due to circulatory problems, but they do live long enough to die of something else. And lung cancer and bronchitis deaths are down, but heart disease is up. Is there any way of predicting which smokers will live and which will die? Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
continues a short season of films starring the ever-popular singing star Deanna Durbin
Today with Adolphe Menjou
In this preposterous and hugely likeable film, Deanna Durbin plays the impetuous daughter of an out-of-work trombone player. Determined to help him and his fellow musicians, Patricia decides to found an orchestra and get the legendary Stokowski to conduct it. First she needs a sponsor ... There's classical music, several songs, ample comedy and a rousing climax, all combining to make this one of the star's most enjoyable movies.
1914-1918; 1939-1945 This morning
1 Her Majesty The Queen laid her wreath in memory of all who died in two World Wars.
Commentator TOM FLEMING

The Flowering of Britain
An exploration with Richard Mabey Why are birthwort, milkwort and the primrose so named? Why do we find sheets of bluebells in some woods and not in others? Why do poppies suddenly appear on newly turned ground?
RICHARD MABEY guides us through the countryside from the Dales to Devon, from Kent to the New Forest. He tells us a new and intriguing story about the 5,000-year-old partnership between ourselves and our flora, and how we've taken them into our medicine chests, gardens, into children's stories, adult myths and religion.
