For soccer manager Jack Charlton there are many sporting heroes: fellow footballer Bobby Moore, boxer Joe Louis, England cricketer Ray Illingworth and rugby scrum-half Gareth Edwards.
But in conversation with Eric Robson Jack also reveals a fascination for the sea, and for two men who sailed into heroism - Captain Cook and Sir Francis Chichester.

Where the public sets the agenda
Little Goldfish People
I jump, a ripple spreads, They smile and nod their caring heads,
Then caring heads just walk away
Happy that they've seen me play.
(Extract from Little Goldfish Men, a poem by PIPPA [text removed] , aged 12 years)
Pippa is now 14 and, with her 8-year-old brother Lloyd, has for the past three years been looking after her mum who suffers from multiple sclerosis. Although still at school they're also free home-helps between the homework. But who cares about Pippa, or the 10,000 other children in a similar situation in this country? No one it seems.

A series of eight prize-winning films from different parts of the world.
4: Starlings at Work
This film, made in Holland by Joost Tinbergen , was a strong contender for the Scientific award at last year's Wildscreen Festival.
For six years, Tinbergen conducted a time and motion study on starlings as they raced to rear their nestlings. To do this, he observed one pair from dawn till dusk, and monitored every morsel of food the birds brought back to their young. He discovered that starlings are amazingly efficient foragers.

The Dobrogea region in south-east Romania includes ancient steppe country and the magnificent Danube Delta wetlands. Every winter tens of thousands of visiting wild geese are attracted to the enormous prairie fields of new wheat. A short flight away, hundreds of lakes provide a safe resting place for them.
In summer, these delta waters become a beautiful wildlife paradise, where the great reedbeds provide a secret breeding retreat for the spectacular white pelicans - their last stronghold in Europe.
