Presented by Professor Heinz Wolff
This week's programme starts well but has a rather strange ending. It takes place inside three large cardboard boxes! The teams are attempting to make photograph-in-three-minute machines. Their subject is the studio audience, who are rendered speechless by the quality of the results - well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Heinz, on the other hand, is never lost for words, and with the help of an infra-red camera he reveals all.

Tonga
For King and Country
The Kingdom of Tonga won a romantic place in the British imagination 30 years ago when its monarch, Queen Salote, paraded at the coronation of Britain's own Queen in London.
On that day a popular legend was bom: a British daydream of a palm-fringed kingdom where an island people, untouched by progress and materialism, lived in simple harmony under the wise and benevolent rule of the Polynesian Royal Family. But Tonga today - the real Tonga - is a troubled place. Michael Dean examines the tensions and contradictions of this Pacific kingdom. Producer MERATA MITA

from Wimbome Minster, Dorset with Geoff Hamilton and Clay Jones
A pergola decked in roses, a rockery and a pool with waterfalls - sounds like a big garden, but it's not.
Lys de Bray has managed to fill her small, less than one-sixth of an acre plot with a wide range of different habitats supporting a collection of wild flowers and rare and unusual plants which she uses as a library for her acclaimed botanical illustrations.

Plague of Locusts
Each year competing law firms descend on the school to recruit top students into summer jobs. James Hart finds himself in great demand from prospective employers ... but should he go with the highest bidder or a firm that would provide the broadest work experience? It's a difficult choice that is made no easier by Connie's decision to take a complete break from the law.
