\ Natural History Unit
Silver Jubilee
' Introduced by Derek Jones
To mark 25 years of wildlife film-making, the Natural History Unit shifts the focus from its animal stars to the people who bring the programmes to our screens - writers, presenters, producers and cameramen.
In the third of four programmes, Derek Jones talks to
David Attenborough and Desmond Morris , both familiar for their appearances in front of the camera, and Martin Saunders , one of the team of wildlife cameramen whose expertise at the other end of the camera has helped bring a stream of spectacular pictures to our screens.

Next week the World Show Jumping Championships are being held in Dublin. That Ireland is hosting the event is due to the outstanding achievements over five years of the most exciting partnership the sport has known - Eddie Macken and the legendary Boomerang. Together they won 26 Grand Prix and four Hickstead Derbys in succession. This should have been their year, but two years ago Boomerang broke a bone in his foot and had to be retired just when it seemed he could go on for ever. In this tribute, top riders and commentators pay homage to horse and rider.

Roy Hattersley on Philip Larkin with Judi Dench and Alan Bennett
In the first of four programmes, ROY HATTERSLEY introduces us to Philip Larkin 's poetry. The two men have views that are entirely opposed - but Hattersley still loves Larkin's work. He finds the precision and rhythms of the words Larkin uses, whether in describing a country show, the cattle grazing on the hillside, a terminal ward in a hospital, or an empty Anglican church, make him a British poet without equal.
