1: Echoes of a Warrior's Dream
During the Edo period,
1603-1868, the country was at peace and virtually isolated from the rest of the world. It was ruled by military dictators, the Shoguns, who controlled every aspect of daily life. Theirs was a society of theft with honour and the duties and obligations of each man to the next, and characterised by a profound respect for authority.
Film editor JEFF SHAW
Produced by MICHAEL MACINTYRE
During the 19th century, in such grand gardens as those at Alton Towers, Chatsworth, Trentham and Shrublands Hall , the first fruits of industrialisation were put to use by designers like
Sir Joseph Paxton and Sir Charles Barry.
Later a romantic revival took place, seen in gardens like Leonardslee, and in the work of Gertrude Jeckyll at Barrington Court and Hestercombe House.
Among the great 20th-century gardens are Castle Drogo, Hidcote Manor and Vita
Sackville-West's Sissinghurst Castle. The film also looks at smaller, modem gardens. Assistant director ROGER LAST
Producer PETER BUTLER

Dear Sir,
May I remind you that a Radio Times billing should inform, educate and above all attract potential viewers. It should not be regarded as a vehicle for old jokes, unfunny correspondence and childish innuendo.
Incidentally, my friends down at The Old Horse and Duck think I'm a very funny man so I hereby apply for a position as a BBC comedian.
Yours sincerely,
Fr Douglas Wernham

British science is in trouble. The technology gap between us and our first division competitors, the United States and Japan, is still widening; over 20 per cent of top-rated research projects are being rejected for lack of funds. The financial squeeze is so serious that Britain is currently considering withdrawal from CERN, the world-leading particle physics laboratory in Geneva.
In a special studio debate "Horizon" examines the hard decisions that have now to be made about future scientific priorities. Can we afford to stay in CERN? Can we do more to back scientific 'winners' to close that technology gap?
'The love that dare not speak its name' has, in its time, informed the works of Sappho, Marlowe, Byron, Proust, W. H. Auden and Virginia Woolf. Frank Delaney discusses homosexuality and literature, past and present, with Julian Mitchell , author of Another Country,
Alison Hennegan and Adam Mars-Jones , with comments from an invited audience. Production assistant BELINDA LANGFORD
