Revealed by Lady Wedgwood A series of explorations into the hidden meanings of five paintings
2: 'St George and the dragon' by Paolo Uccello
The original knight in shining armour rescues the proverbial damsel in distress: but the rocking-horse world of Uccello's St George is not as innocent as it may seem. Its dream-like symbolism points beyond the familiar story to a darker side of the saint's legend. Apparently incongruous details illuminate a journey back through the cave of St George 's pre-Christian personalities leading to some surprising connections, and ending in a timeless zone where the Storm God of Creation must fight a perpetual battle with the Dragon of Chaos.

The last of three films about the Chinese countryside
To Taste a Hundred Herbs Dr Shen, a genial, chain-smoking optimist, runs an impromptu surgery which never seems to shut. His reputation reaches far beyond his own village. Many of his remedies are traditional: musk, scorpions, herbs, mercury, acupuncture. But he combines these ancient cures, which he leamt as a boy, with various contemporary western practices. He willingly takes on patients whom others have turned away as hopeless. Dr Shen and his family provide a glimpse of many of the subtler aspects of Chinese peasant ways and beliefs. Narrator Libby Purves Produced and directed by CARMA HINTON and RICHARD GORDON
