Alfred Perks , Jack-of-all-Trades
Alfred Perks, farmer and wheel-wright, has been kept so busy by his neighbours in Shropshire that in 30 years he has never been away from his workshop for more than two days at a time. He mends their carts, barns and water wheels, repairs the jumps on the racecourse, refits the pews in the chapel, looks after the church clock and dispatches the dead in coffins wrought by his own fastidious hand.

Behind the Horoscope
Astrology is booming. Over 15 million of us read our daily stars -with a sneaking suspicion they may be right. More and more people are consulting astrologers for advice. But recently a group of eminent scientists denounced astrology as a dangerous and irrational superstition.
Which view is right? What are the origins of astrology? How does a modern astrologer construct a horoscope chart? Does such character analysis and forecasting stand up to scientific tests?
Horizon takes a cool look at the evidence - in particular the work of a French psychologist whose surprising results have stirred up a transatlantic row among sceptical scientists.
