Autumn is moving time for millions of birds, streaming through the skies on migration routes that span the globe. But how do they know when and in which direction to fly?
Scientists are attempting to unravel the bird brain system that controls these flights. Gradually the clues are being revealed. Sun, moon, stars, weather and magnetism all play a part. Now even the sense of smell is under investigation.

A Forty Minutes documentary

In a week when the male pulse quickens at the prospect of the coronation of a new Miss World, some prize specimens of the male sex flex and flaunt for the benefit of deprived womankind. In a revue of male talent displays held throughout the land in the last year, young and youngish men, more or less dressed, appear in a cavalcade of different roles and role-reversals. To evoke a sigh there is 'Husband of the Month' and 'Bachelor of the Year'; to kindle a smouldering glance there is 'Mr Universe' and 'Mister Supercool' to raise a shriek of laughter there is strip-teasing man; to repel all but a minority there is tattooed man and mud-wrestling man. But somewhere in 40 minutes of sexism there should be something for every lady.
