Six films about living music 3: Music Out of Time
Jazz is the meeting of East and West. From the East the timeless, erotic trance rhythms of Africa. From the West, the chords and riffs of American country folk music. They come together to form the most influential sounds of the 20th century.
Ian Carr is one of Britain's finest jazz composers and a tireless campaigner for jazz-still, after 50 years, regarded as a rather disreputable kind of music. Earlier this year, Carr and his band NUCLEUS worked on a special big band version of one of his most recent compositions, Midnight Oil, with a group of enthusiastic and talented young players from London's rehearsal bands. The result is a workshop in the free-floating world of true improvisation.

The fifth of 16 programmes One Man and His Bog
Robin Bovey is warden of a nature reserve at the mouth of the River Dyfi in west Wales. It's one of those special parts of the British countryside designated by the Nature Conservancy Council as a natural national asset, to be cherished and cared for like a work of art. The special charge in Robin's care is a peat bog - known locally as Borth Bog, but recognised internationally as a unique and irreplaceable natural wonder. ANGELA RIPPON visits the Dyfi estuary to meet Robin who, with his young family, lives ' over the shop', with Borth Bog and Ynyslas Dunes as his own back garden. As warden, how does he balance the needs of the local community and the summer visitors with the ideals of nature conservation? Can one man defend the course of nature?
