First of three programmes Zen, the Pigtail Monkey
... the monkey that goes to work - on a bike!
Zen's ancestors once roamed wild in the forests of South East Asia. Because of their intelligence and ability to adapt to man, macaque monkey's were trained as actors, and more recently, as travellers in the exploration of space.
This is the story of a more down-to-earth relationship between an animal and his master, in which you can discover how Zen earns his place as a full working member of Mr Tay 's household.

It is 20 years since
Glynn Christian left New Zealand. In this four-part series he returns to his homeland to see what changes have taken place - particularly to the eating habits of New Zealanders.
Land of Milk and Money In this, the second programme of the series,
Glynn Christian visits the south of North Island - home of the famous New Zealand dairy farming industry.
It is here too that the Kiwi fruit flourishes, and Glynn discovers its true versatility as an accompaniment to savoury dishes, and as a sweet wine popular with the Japanese because of its high vitamin C content.
On Lake Taupo he catches rainbow trout which are barbecued with sugar, lemon and herbs for lunch. His journey ends in Wellington with a tour of the meat markets and the chance to taste some new and exotic dishes in a local restaurant.

The Hare and the Turtle
A series of 13 films in which a walled garden is restored, and worked as it was 100 years ago.
Presented by Peter Thoday with Head Gardener Harry Dodson 7: June
'Flaming June' lives up to its name. Harry is kept busy manipulating the blinds and ventilators of the glasshouses, to protect the emerging tomatoes, cucumbers and melons. Peter shows how the development of the glasshouse allowed the Victorians to grow tropical fruits and flowers hitherto unknown in Britain.
In the garden the bees swarm, and Harry tackles slugs with soot, and wireworm with a carrot.
The briefness of the British summer.... renders the well-kept planthouse a place of most agreeable resort.

Presented by Lewis Wolpert Issues from science today.
Minds, Machines and Minsky Can we build a machine to let our minds live on forever? The founding father of artificial intelligence, research Professor Marvin Minsky, explains how the structure of our minds will one day be replicated. The hardest problem; it seems, won't be our emotions or our souls, but how to give the machine common sense. Growing Concern
Tall people are more successful than short people - we live in a society which appears to reward height. Major drug companies are poised to market synthetic human growth hormone, a drug that's known to make short children grow into taller adults. Should parents be able to buy their children a head start? Lewis Wolpert reports. Research
