2: When the Trees Bow Down
Although thousands of people visit the New Forest each year to admire the many varieties of trees that cover 30,000 acres they probably don't realise that over half of the woodland is used for commercial growing.
This week Dennis Skillicorn meets Rodney Newborough , one of the Forestry Commission men responsible for marketing the timber. He also speaks to Cliff Fennell , a forester who works all year round cutting the timber. But all the wood doesn't find its way into the pulp and sawmills. Greta Hopkin son from Brockenhurst finds a different use for it. She spends her life searching for interesting pieces of wood to shape into beautiful wood sculptures. ' No art form has influenced me, I've been influenced purely by the wood.'

Hildegarde, the old abbess of Philadelphia, dies before naming another hard-line conservative nun, Alexandra, her successor, and thus preventing the rebellious Felicity from attempting a take-over. An inconvenience means that Alexandra has to resort to Machiavellian tactics to ensure her victory in the election.
Glenda Jackson as the Nixon-like Alexandra heads a superb cast in this outrageously funny and biting satire on the Watergate scandal, adapted from Muriel Spark's novel The Abbess of Crewe.
