A series of 13 films in which a walled garden is restored, and worked as it was a hundred years ago.
Presented by Peter Thoday with Head Gardener Harry Dodson 3: February
Winter locks the garden in its icy grip. It is an opportunity for repairing tools. Peter shows the range the Victorian gardener had at his disposal. Harry turns his attention to the forcing house where he plants chicory, asparagus and rhubarb. The Victorians had a taste for the delicate flavour of forced vegetables.
They developed new methods of cultivation and gave the country its first purpose-made, artificial fertiliser.
'Although stern winter, with its ice-bound chains, exerts its influence over the soil, the gardener may find employment preparatory to commencing his operations of ploughing and planting ...' Kitchen Gardener's Instructor Music by PAUL READE

Introduced by Prof Lewis Wolpert FRS
Issues from science today.
From darkest Africa to Britain's Cheddar Gorge, man has left traces of cannibalistic practices. Anthropologist William Arens re-examines the evidence and argues that the man-eating myth has been too readily accepted.
Jonathan Glover questions the ethics of the expanding industry of infertility treatment. In the two years since the Warnock Committee reported, over 30 clinics offering test-tube babies have opened. Are the controls adequate and how far should the law interfere? A report on the latest findings from Antarctica, as the U2 modified spy plane completes its flights through the recently discovered ozone hole in the atmosphere. Is there real cause for concern for scientists and politicians back on earth?

Starring Alan Alda as Hawkeye, Mike Farrell as BJ, Harry Morgan as Colonel Potter, Loretta Swit as Hotlips, Larry Linville as Major Frank Burns, Gary Burghof as Radar, William Christopher as Fr Mulcahy

It all starts with a phone call: 'How and why?' Poor Hawkeye has a terrible time trying to convince army bureaucracy that a mistake has been made, when Digger Detmuller arrives to collect a body - his body! Having the indignity of being dead is bad enough but not being paid for it is an insult.
