Otters are secretive creatures, quite common but rarely seen. The best you can hope for are signs that they are about.
Seals, on the other hand, are easy to watch, but if you want to see more than a head bobbing above the water, you need to know where and how to look. Tony goes seal-watching and, for the first time in his life, observes common seals swimming up the saltmarsh creeks and hauling themselves out on to the mud flats.
Film editor HUGH TASMAN Producer BRYN BROOKS

A series of seven programmes
At the end of the 18th century, The Rev Thomas Malthus published his essay on population in which he said: 'Population has a tendency to increase beyond the means of subsistence'. His view was that when this happened, nature took a hand and there was a correction - famine for example, pestilence or war. In Europe, scientific advance and colonisation have, so far at least, postponed Malthus's gloomy prediction. But on a global scale, could Malthus yet be right?

Carole met her man on the Arsenal terraces. The invitations were out, the cake was made, the presents had arrived. But why didn't the bridegroom turn up to meet the vicar ... ?
Diane was 18 when she met
Stu. It was a romance built on sentimental postcards, holidays in the sun, and love at long distance. Was it all too perfect to last.... ?
Kate and George were in the middle of their ceremony when the telephone rang. Why did the registrar stop the wedding? And what was the secret he unveiled ... ? Sue was a coalminer's daughter. Richard was a policeman, up in Yorkshire on picket duty. It was a whirlwind romance. But at
9.30 on the eve of the wedding itself, there was a knock on Sue's door....
