A series of six programmes 3: SculpturePresented by John FltzMaurlce Mills
Forgers of stone sculpture go for the big sales to museums and private collectors. Once suspected. they are usually found out. But alongside them is a whole industry turning out fake metal statuettes. How do you decipher the catalogue code which gives the sale-room's opinion of an object? How do you tell if a figure has been artificially ' aged '? And is there any defence against the flood of fake netsuke - plastic imitations of Japanese ivories - coming on to the market?

Horseshoe crabs scuttle across the beach to take part in a mating orgy that's 300 million years old. A slender pipefish gives birth-nothing unusual in that-except the pipefish is male. A newly hatched turtle heads unerringly towards the ocean it has never seen.

These are just some of the star turns in this portrait of Pleasant Bay, a small stretch of water and marshland in New England, on the East coast of America. A group of American film-makers spent a year observing and recording the life of the bay; the result is a remarkable close-up look at a natural habitat and at the bizarre and beautiful creatures that live there.

Dramatised by Josephine Poole
Anthony Shaw's priestly life is spent in pursuit of sinners. He is a zealous saver of souls. But a priest can't work so close to the devil without getting acquainted. A year ago BBC South West asked viewers to send in their stories and experiences of a mysterious kind. A selection of these stories was given to professional dramatists. This is the first of seven films of the West Country Tales.
