A series for those who love sail and the sea. Old Gaffers
Narrated by Tom Salmon Every year, off the River
Blackwater on the east coast, the Old Gaffers slog it out. In 1985 the weather was the worst for 15 years and only the sturdiest of the old working boats and yachts sailed the 30-mile course. Two of the leaders in the class are Helen and Violet, and the 105-year-old oyster smack Sunbeam. The film follows their close-fought race.

If you want to get crops early in the season then use plastic cloches and floating cloches. David Antill from Efford Experimental Horticultural Station has been researching the use of plastic and has some interesting ideas and exciting results. Many plants, both for the garden and the house, are now produced by micropropagation, and this ensures healthy, disease-free stock.
