Oldrich Lukasek , a successful Prague lawyer, is forced to move to the mountains for his health. Too young to retire, he sets up his practice in a small town and is startled when his first client offers him a rabbit as a fee.

The story of a protest, told by Jancis Robinson. Fulbeck is a small picturesque village, in the heart of some of the best farming land in Britain. It has a squire, a pub, champion bell-ringers, a successful cricket team.
In February 1986 the Government proposed the World War n airfield at
Fulbeck as a possible site for a nuclear waste dump. The news came like a thunderbolt.
Over the next months the lives of the villagers were transformed.
Squire Julian Fane , former
High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, forsook his quiet life to lead the gentlemanly opposition. Vicar Hugh Middleton found himself dealing with a crisis of faith.
Show jumper Lionel Dunning blocked the roads with tractors. The Times called them 'middle-class, middle-aged hooligans from middle-England'.
But the people of Fulbeck were determined to keep the NIREX drills out of their lives - and they did.

Howard Hodgkin
When British painter Howard Hodgkin, winner of the Turner Prize in 1986, first confronted the Quantel
Paintbox, he found his own working methods were accelerated to an almost alarming degree. In his own studio, Hodgkin works, sometimes for years, on his own brilliantly-colourful, almost abstract, canvasses. Now, with the computerised brush and palette of the Paintbox, Hodgkin can achieve a 'painted' sketch in a matter of minutes. He responded to the challenge by using the computer to work out ideas for the sets and costumes for Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella - a commission from the Ballet Rambert. Executive producers
