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,

Brian Plummer is a hunter. His obsession is with the ways of rabbits, hares, foxes, badgers and rats, and of the dogs that men still breed and train to hunt them. Brian once lived without money for two years on what his dog could kill. Now he earns his living as a teacher, and by writing books on hunting. But he still hunts, walking the suburban fields north of Birmingham with a bleak eye on the encroachment of the city, and for himself as one of the last of a dying breed.

opens a season of feature films especially made for television
Starring Stefanie Powers , Paul Clemens

On 30 September 1973, 18-year-old Peter Reilly was accused of the brutal murder of his mother. After interrogation Peter signed a confession, which he later renounced. This powerful film depicts the aftermath of these tragic events when the small Connecticut township in which Peter grew up came to his defence. Based on one of the most controversial and harrowing cases in American legal history, the film marked British director Tony Richardson's US television debut
