Visions of St Michael 's Mount
St Michael, Jack the Giant Killer, and the Spanish Armada - all have appeared here. Steeped in legend and history, St Michael 's
Mount has been a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of years; now thousands of tourists flock to the island and its fairytale castle. On that memorable weekend of snow and storms last April, Angela Rippon rode across the causeway to meet the two oldest families of the Mount - Lord and Lady St Levan who live in the castle, and John and Malcolm Matthews , who guide her up the tourist trail and into the sheltered sub-tropical gardens.
Meanwhile, on the windward side, Tony Soper explores the unusual natural history that gives this Cornish island its special character. From this southerly outpost of Britain, In the Country looks ahead to spring. producer CAROLINE WEAVER

Poland: The Economic Reckoning After his military takeover in Poland, General Jaruzelski faces an economy at crisis point - deeply in debt to the West, and with production in a slump.
Keith Kyle asks what our response in the West should be to Warsaw's call for economic belp-to give more aid to try and save what's left of the Polish reforms, or to leave the expense of bailing the Poles out to Moscow? And without the co-operation of Solidarity can the Poles' centrally-planned economy ever be made to work?
