The Long Night of the Lion Narrated by Anthony Clare Previously, you have only seen the lion during the day. But lions are nocturnal animals and daytime hunts are the exception rather than the rule. Now, from Savuti in the Chobe National Park in Botswana, comes a remarkable study of the secret life of the lion. For three and a half years, a team of researchers has followed lions throughout the night by the light of powerful searchlights.

Lord Elgin and the Parthenon Presented by Magnus Magnusson
'Every traveller coming added to the general defacement of the statuary within his reach. It was no part of my original plan to bring away anything but my models.'
It was with these words in 1816 that Lord Elgin argued his case for having removed many of the finest sculptures from the Parthenon. The controversy surrounding the 'Elgin Marbles' has raged ever since, and Melina Mercouri is just the latest in a long line of Greeks demanding that the marbles should be returned. The story of how Lord Elgin secured them, of Byron's vicious attack upon him and of the Earl's subsequent ruin. Producer JULIA CAVE
