Introduced by David Attenborough Almost unnoticed over the years, the fox population has been building up in the concrete jungles of our towns and cities. To most people foxes are dirty, mangy, vicious killers, creeping into our cities at night, attacking cats and raiding dustbins.
But the facts suggest that urban foxes are not the villains they're made out to be. Filmed at night and by day in the city streets and gardens, this programme sets out to find where they live, what they eat and how they co-exist with other city animals - including man

The Golden Road
Donny MacLeod reaches Uzbekistan, on the Afghanistan border, where he finds the people owe more to the Orient and Islam for their culture. MacLeod travels the Golden Road to Samarkand', the dusty vestiges of the great trading route that once carried caravans of camels, and splendidly caparisoned elephants. Samarkand itself was the creation of the great conqueror Tamerlane, the 'pearl of his universe '. Today, after years of neglect, the race is on to restore the ancient buildings which reflect one of the most glorious eras of architectural achievement.

by JONATHAN MILLER Perishable Goods
Jonathan Miller shows that it was only after death that the secrets of bodily function could be revealed, through the detective work of the post mortem. The series ends by asking how many of the modern improvements in life expectancy and health are due to doctors.
The post mortem sequence could scarcely have been more shocking for a lay audience but somehow the presence of the beaming, absorbed dissector-general.... made everything all right.
