Starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers
Written by Dwight Taylor and Allan Scott.

The first in a short season of films in which Fred Astaire, who died last month, co-stars with his most famous partner.

This enchanting musical was the third that Fred and Ginger made together and it remains probably the most loved and famous of the nine. Typically, it is a 'comedy of errors', beginning in London and ending - very happily - in Venice. The music is by their most regular collaborator - Irving Berlin - and includes such songs as 'Cheek to cheek' and 'Isn't it a lovely day'.

A Natural World special
Narrated by Sue MacGregor This award-winning programme filmed in Ethiopia, Nepal, China,
Burkina Faso and the USA examines the crisis in world agriculture which lies at the root of famine.
Growing food depends on water and topsoil. Yet a third of the world's topsoil may be gone in 15 years' time, and two-thirds of the world's nations are threatened by encroaching deserts.
Peasant farmers feed most of the world but they are being forced to destroy their own land in order to survive from year to year. Subsidies to big farmers by the EEC and USA can also take away their living. Yet with a little technical help and fairer balance of world trade they can avoid the road to starvation.
