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.
Harry and Peter draw up a cropping plan for the coming year. Harry expects to plant over 25 different crops including what he calls his 'fussy pieces', salsify and scorzonera. Tracking down the Victorian varieties takes Peter to a refrigerated seed bank near Stratford-on-Avon. Frost threatens the budding peaches, and Harry employs several old methods to protect them - a thatch of yew and laurel, straw mats and drapes of fine tiffany.
"March dust is worth a king's ransom but the winds that upraise it are especially severe upon weak and tender plants."

A monthly anthology of travel, exploration and adventure - worldwide
Introduced by John Ridgway

Tonight, two films.
First, Bounty Child - a voyage by nine men across the far Pacific in an 18th-century long-boat. Their leader is Captain Bligh's great, great, great grandson. In the wake of his ancestor, who was cast adrift by the Bounty mutineers, he re-enacts an epic story of survival.

Frozen in Time - in 1846 two ships and 129 men disappeared without trace in the Canadian Arctic. In 1986, two bodies were found - perfectly preserved in the ice.
The mystery of the Franklin Expedition begins to unfold.
