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 11: October
One October morning Harry walks to the garden to gather a choice melon and an artichoke-like vegetable called a cardoon. Harry has entered both in the autumn show at the Royal Horticultural Society in London.
Peter traces the history of the RHS, the backbone of British horticulture since its formation in 1804, and takes a behind-the-scenes look at the vegetable-judging and fruit-tasting.
At Chilton, the Fruit House is filling up. As he has done every year since he came here 40 years ago, Harry provides produce for the Harvest Festival. But this year there will be varieties that have not been seen for a long time.
Showing requires extra attention, application of skill and unsparing energy in manual labour at all hours

Presented by Lewis Wolpert Issues from science today Invisible Wounds
This summer, three sailors reached crisis point: they were going crazy and didn't know why. Karl [text removed] tried to kill himself; Jim [text removed] was violent to the family he loved; Taff [text removed] was struck deaf and blind. Each felt isolated. It was only when they came together at the Royal Naval Hospital
Haslar in Gosport that they discovered the key to their common problem ... the Falklands war five years ago. Through the Looking Glass
Antenna follows two research scientists who've won British Association Fellowships to try their hand at working in the media. An Oxford molecular biologist starts work on Channel 4 News. Shell's expert on gas explosions finds himself on Tomorrow's World. How do they cope?
