A series of 12 explorations with Professor W. G. Hoskins
10: Northumberland - the Frontier For centuries the border between England and Scotland was fought over. The years of skirmishing have left all sorts of traces in the landscape. In Coquetdale, on the heights of the Cheviots, on the Northumbrian coast and along the Whin Sill, PROFESSOR HOSKINS shows a ' frontier landscape' marked by 2,000 years of man's hand.
The Border country was explored magically by the camera of Nat Crosby and beguilingly explained by Professor William Hoskins. (DAILY MAIL) Film cameraman NAT CROSBY

The last of a seven-part series tracing the origins of our species, presented by Richard Leakey
The Survival of the Species
Are we descended from killer apes? Do we owe our success to aggression so deeply rooted in our species that today it threatens our very survival? Or is this a dangerous myth?
In this final programme RICHARD LEAKEY re-examines those crucial behaviour patterns that over millions of years made us what we are, and looks at the new evidence from the past that suggests a more optimistic view of the human animal; one that offers hope that our species will survive.

A simple Victorian cottage. Half thatched, half covered with corrugated iron. It stands in the tiny hamlet of Walderton in the Sussex Weald. Since 1979 it has been unfit for habitation. But is it perhaps more important than it seems? Could the fireplace be 17th-century? Are the beams the original medieval timbers? Until recently, architectural history has concentrated on large buildings designed by important architects, but these buildings tell us nothing about the lives of ordinary people. Small, traditional buildings do. For two years "Chronicle" followed the story of the cottage as it was dismantled, carefully investigated, restored and re-erected in the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum as a prime example of traditional English building.
