The Year of the Rat
Rats - should we like them? Some people hate and despise these rodents. As the Chinese Year of the Rat draws to a close, down on the farm the rats' year goes on. Resourceful and adaptable, these successful invaders have enjoyed our unwitting hospitality for over two centuries.
But this Jekyll and Hyde of animals challenges our prejudices. Is it not also an attractive pet, and a clever animal; and don't we all owe our lives to the rat as a tool of research into good health? This animal opportunist should be watched - even from behind your chair.... Narrated by Barry Paine Photography PETER SMITHSON Film editor CHARLES ALDRIDGE Produced by BARRY PAINE Series editor PETER JONES BBC Bristol

Presented by Harold Williamson
Mick Morton was a natural runner - and winner. He was a world champion at 18. Olympic medals and new world records seemed within his grasp. Then a freak injury stopped him in his tracks.
For four years and through five operations Mick Morton fought to keep his dream alive, and to return to world-class athletics. The film chronicles his painful progression from consulting room to practice track and finally to the starting line of his comeback race.
'If I can do well tonight it'll be some reward for the misery of the past four years'.
