Acute water shortage in Britain results not just from the lack of our usual rain, but from the demands of our huge population. The Australian view of drought is different. Their land is sparsely populated, and it's the driest of inhabited continents.
Is the most recent dramatic cycle of extended drought, horrifying bush fires and ensuing floods part of a natural order, or a series of unnatural catastrophes? Australian film-makers Tristram Miall and Robert Loader explore the Aboriginal attitude to drought, examine modern theories of its causes, and chronicle its impact on the plants and animals, and on the people.

1: In the Beginning Was the Word ... James Cameron, one of the outstanding figures of British journalism, has earned universal respect for his courage in working in dangerous places, but even more for his forthright reporting and fearless independence of view. In this series he analyses his career, revisiting places of historical and political significance, re-assessing his views in the light of present experience.
'I was terribly cross sometimes, and very unhappy sometimes, and frequently very lonely. But what other job could I have done where I could whizz all over the world at somebody else's expense, meeting people of significance who wouldn't have had the time of day for me as an individual-but who did have some time for me as a newspaperman?'
In this first programme James Cameron traces his career from his early days in journalism to his first tentative steps in television.
