Carl Nicholson of the RSPB advises on the construction and siting of birdboxes and tables.

The Badgers of Gwent
The badger is constantly being persecuted by man. Killed for shaving-brushes and sporrans; baited for sport and disturbed by local hunts and thoughtless farmers. Now Brock is protected by law, but although pressure groups like the one in Gwent are being formed around the country Britain's largest wild carnivore is still in danger.
Made by GRAHAM HORDER for the GWENT BADGER GROUP Presented by the COMMUNITY PROGRAMME UNIT

The last of six films of early exploration
Introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by the pioneer polar explorer Duncan Carse.
Flying Safari (1934) .
'Beneath us we saw more elephants than any human being haa ever seen before ... 10,000 elephants in two hours . . . then a 30-mile border of pink flamingoes round a lake of jade . . . new zebra swept by beneath us by the thousand .. ' So explorer and pioneer photographer Martin John son described the incredible wealth of wildlife that existed in Africa in the 1930s; wildlife which he was now filming from the air for the first time.
With his wife, Osa, Martin Johnson flew over 60,000 miles in their two primitive bi-planes: survived tropical rainstorms, crash-landings and innumerable narrow escapes and brought back a unique picture of now-vanished wildlife, and an enduring story of high adventure.

This is the one! Remember the first time round, when Kenny wrestled with an individual steak and kidney pie? When he went into Billy Connolly 's beard with rod and gun? When he collapsed, while trying to make an anagram of Lulu's name? When Martin Shaw left the Professionals to come and join the amateurs? Its all here once more! So if you missed it the first time- here s your chance again! ... It's not Unusual

In 1975, Reine Schiller went to Vietnam as a freelance journalist and independent woman. Her quest for adventure ended in a dramatic exodus from Saigon, a nightmarish boat journey and the unexpected acquisition of Hung, a 6-year-old orphan who adopted her as his 'maman'. Reine des. cribes how she taught him to become a civilised young Englishman and how he taught her to become a devoted mother. '... there is a bond between us that neither time nor distance can break. I did not bring my son into the world but I am thankful that the world gave him to me. For the gift of motherhood is something my life would have been much poorer without.'
