Bust the Union! In the United States, the business of breaking unions is on the increase. But instead of the pitched battles of the 30s the job of preventing or weakening trade unions is today done by sophisticated management consultants. Now, American companies are believed to be at work in Britain and British consultants, too, are importing their ideas about creating a ' union-free environment '. Nick Clarke investigates.

A natural-history drama in six parts.

Charles Darwin caused Victorian naturalists to seek signs of human-like thoughts and feelings in our fellow creatures: George Romanes constructed a 'theory of mental evolution'; Douglas Spalding devised tests to see what skills animals were born with; and Jacques Loeb designed ways of proving animals were like 'mindless' robots.

' I don't see him at all as the champion of the Common Man he's sometimes cracked up to be.'
(LORD GIFFORD)
' One of the greatest Common Lawyers who's ever lived.'
(LORD SCARMAN)
Lord Denning has attracted more public notice and more criticism than any other British judge in our times. For 20 years as Master of the Rolls he presided over the Court of Appeal. His judgments on civil cases have had far-reaching importance for the law and the rights of the individual. His admirers proclaim him as the champion of the Common Man against the might of government, corporations and trade unions. His critics say he was too political, too idiosyncratic and trod where judges should not.
Lord Denning's retirement at the end of September, after nearly 60 years of activity in the law, is the occasion of a first assessment of his notable career. He talks to David Jessel about some of his controversial rulings, on his view of justice, and on some of the formative influences on his life.
Producer WILLIAM TREHARNE JONES (Postponed from 2 October)

Abandoned to the savage beauty of the Australian outback after the suicide of their deranged father, a 14-year-old girl and her young brother begin the long trek back to ' civilisation '. Almost starving, they encounter an aborigine boy on his ' walkabout' to manhood. He becomes their guide and friend - but the relationship which develops leads to tragedy.
Nicolas Roeg , as cameraman and director, combines a gripping adventure story - set in an awe-some landscape - with a complex study of environmental dislocation and a clash of cultures.
