Butterflies
Narrator TOM FLEMING
A kaleidoscope of the most delicate and beautiful insects in the world. Their beauty has proved irresistible ever since the days when early collectors bagged the huge and elusive Birdwings of Papua New Guinea with shot-guns. Yet there is far more fascination in the live butterfly: territorial British butterflies fight off intruders; Australian armoured caterpillars live in ants' nests; the amazing Monarch butterfly migrates thousands of miles, wintering in a secret hideout in Mexico. There, 20 million Monarchs clustered in a few acres of forest form one of the most dazzling spectacles in the world.

Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863)
A film based on his paintings and his journals.
' Witness against the eternal and incorrigible barbarity of man ' - Baudelaire, the great critic, on his hero Delacroix, the great painter. Lions devouring horses, massacres of slaves, the great battle scenes of history, and then suddenly and simply, one single flower-such is the range of this man torn between violent emotion and the need for control-the great Romantic haunted by a love of quiet and peace.
Using the Journal that Delacroix kept-an outstanding book in its own right - this film tells the story of the life and work of the greatest French painter of the first half of the 19th century.
