* CEEFAX SUBTITLES
The last of three programmes that look at the role of wild animals in Japanese life, art and religion.
Long Live the Turtle
The Japanese have explored the rich harvest of the ocean more, perhaps, than any other nation.
The place of sea-turtles in legend, myth and commerce illustrates Japan's changing attitudes to the sea and its wildlife - attitudes that embrace the bloody killing of dolphins and prayers for the souls of dead whales, importing turtles by the thousand for their shells and yet venerating them as symbols of good luck.

For the last six weeks thousands of votes have been pouring in to the Design Council from viewers and visitors to the six special Design Awards exhibitions. Tonight the results in the three awards categories are revealed. Who won in Products? The computer terminal, the bathroom suite, the micro-excavator, the mixer or the micro-light aircraft? In Environment - the White Horse Hill, the Megget reservoir, the Oratory, the Cambridge research laboratories or 1 Finsbury Avenue? In Graphics - 'Blueprint', Boots' footcare packaging, the stamps, the Independent or the Honeywell commercial? Is the public choice the same as that of the judges who made the original selection? There is a special award for the design which gained the most votes overall, and British Telecom Mobile Communications - who mounted the exhibitions - announce a commission to the designer they consider of special merit.
