' When he died, I felt that the Big Top of poetry had lost its central pole.' (SEAMUS HEANEY ) At Robert Lowell's death in 1977, he was widely regarded as America's finest poet, indeed the finest in the language. His work had an astonishing range: from New England's puritan past, to the most intimate details of his own personal life, and the larger historical perspectives of modern America-Vietnam, the Presidency, wars and assassinations. This study of his life includes unique archive footage of Robert Lowell talking about his work and reading it. Many of his friends also pay tribute to the man Eugene McCarthy has called ' the poet of history in America.'

Farming in Britain has never been healthier. Our land is among the most productive in the world, but at what cost to the tax-payer?

Hawaii - Crucible of Life
Carnivorous caterpillars, giant flies, flightless moths, prickleless holly, scentless mints, snails and shrimps that live in trees ... all these and more live in Hawaii. The still active volcanic islands, like arks adrift on the earth's crust, have over millions of years received a haphazard cargo of creatures that somehow survived a journey across the immense emptiness of the Pacific. Here their descendants evolved into a bizarre variety of life forms, now threatened with extinction. Narrated by Eugene Fraser

The last of four programmes

If one were to list Stanley Matthews, Puskas, Eusebio, Tom Finney and Pele - it would not be impertinent to add Bobby Charlton. All were unquestionably great footballers. Bobby's background was football, he came from the Milburn family, who had fed league football with many a full-back, as well as 'Geordie' Jackie. His brother Jack signed for Leeds while Bobby himself became a 'Busby Babe' at Manchester United. Then tragedy as eight of his fellow 'babes' were killed in the Munich air disaster - 25 years ago today. For Charlton, Busby, and others who survived, life would never be the same. But those survivors had a bond - a will to avenge the fates - and to see Manchester United rise again. For Charlton the challenge at United culminated in the European Cup Competition in 1968, while his England goal was '1966 and all that'.
