A New Green Revolution?
The 'Green Revolution' of the 70s produced new 'miracle' rice and wheat which, it was hoped, would ensure that world hunger would disappear. But the new technology only seemed to make the rich farmers richer and the poor farmers poorer. Now agricultural scientists working in Mexico, Bangladesh and the Philippines are trying radical new approaches to help the poor grow more food. Narrator Paul Vaughan

for the Marley Trophy
The third match in this series at the beautiful King's Course at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland.
Resident professionals Tom Watson and Greg Norman are joined again by two celebrity partners.
Ronnie Corbett partners Tom and brings his genuine warmth and sense of fun to today's match, as well as a very competitive quality in his golf. Former British heavyweight champion Henry Cooper provides a startling contrast in size to his celebrity opponent, and his left-handed swing works smoothly in partnership with Greg. Peter Alliss commentates and talks to the players in this match over nine holes.

A series of 13 programmes which tell the story of the theatre from its earliest beginnings to the present day.
Written and presented by Ronald Harwood 1: Makers of Magic
This prologue to the series asks the most baffling questions of all - how did the theatre begin and why do we need it? In attempting to answer those questions we join the rapt audience at an ancient religious ritual-the Barong Dance of Bali - and go behind the scenes at the opening night of a British play on Broadway.
These two dramatic events - a relic of drama's origins and one of the most commercial manifestations of theatre In the modern world - are thousands of years apart, but they are mysteriously connected by the magic that can take place when an audience and Performers come together. Today's actors, playwrights, directors, technicians and critics talk revealingly about their art.
Those taking part include:
Tom Courtenay , Paul Rogers John Gielgud , Eli Wallach Colleen Dewhurst
Frankie Howerd , Peter Brook Michael Frayn and Michael Billington
