The Incredible Heap
The Story of Garden Compost Narrated by Richard Briers
A load of old rubbish? No - to
James Gray it's a very special creation that will become home to millions of bacteria who will eat it up and heat it up. By the time the invading fungi and worms, spring-tails and pseudoscorpions have done their work it will be transformed into the crumbly goodness we call compost. And for the gardener who's also a naturalist it may become a secret wilderness for many an unexpected visitor.

starring
Joseph Cotten , Agnes Moorehead with Tim Holt , Dolores Costello
Orson Welles ' second feature film has the same electric feeling of excitement, freshness and discovery that pervades Citizen Kane. In Booth Tarkington's story of the decline and fall of a great American family, he in fact adopted an even more experimental and improvisatory approach to the medium. The result is one of his most enthralling - and deeply-felt - pictures.
