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. As he investigates her case, Lukasek discovers that small town justice is a matter of blackmailing witnesses and tampering with evidence. Outraged, he resolves to beat the system.

It seemed like a perfectly normal birth: Mary and Gordon [text removed] never suspected anything was wrong with their first baby, Sara. The frequent rolling of her eyes was put down to wind, so it was three and a half months before they learned that Sara was born blind, with cataracts in both eyes. Q.E.D.'s cameras followed the [text removed] for four tense months as doctors and family struggled to rescue Sara from her world of darkness.

A series of nine programmes featuring natural history films from other countries. Wild Cats
You've all seen cats attack a ball of wool, purr on your lap and sharpen their claws on furniture. Their habit of playing with their prey while it still lives, and stalking garden birds is less endearing. The world of their wild cousins is rarely seen; the elusive, graceful, and most deadly wild cats. In form and function, wild cats reach the peak of predatory evolution.
American TV naturalist
Marty Stouffer explores the world of the jaguar, mountain lion, lynx, bobcat, margay, ocelot and jaguarundi. Directed and produced by MARTY STOUFFER
