The Cornish landscape artist Mary Martin rarely paints outside the Parish of St Dominick in the Tamar Valley, where her family can be traced back for six generations.

She works all the year round in the open air, even in the depths of winter when watercolours freeze on the paper. Her paintings convey a deep innate understanding of nature and a passion for the landscape she records.

A series of films on the way we live now. Short Stories
Some call them 'dwarves': they call themselves 'persons of restricted growth'. There are more than 10,000 in Britain and, for all of them, being small is no laughing matter. Mike Ballan is just 37 inches tall - making him the smallest man in Britain.
His twin brother Malcolm is nearly twice his height. Frances Gaywood is an adopted child. Her natural parents couldn't cope with the fact that she, unlike them, was a dwarf.
Tom Shakespeare is the son and heir of Sir William Shakespeare. Tom's at Cambridge - a political activist, hair-dyed, confident, and something of a trial to his tall, tidy mother. In childhood
Gladys Nicholson was hung from bars and painfully stretched - to no avail. But soon she's to marry Bernard Brooks - a shy watch-repairer, who for years couldn't bear to look in a mirror, or even a shop window. He kept thinking to himself that he was tall.
They have all learned to live in what for them is anything but a small world.
