Second of five programmes Fit for Life
Dr Michael O'Donnell investigates the ageing process, attempting to get at the truth behind our preconceptions of a slow but inevitable decline. There seems to be no reason why most of us shouldn't lead an active life well into our 90's, providing of course, that we choose the right parents - and put in a lifetime's preparation.
Produced by VICKI MOORE and DAVID WILLIAMS (e)
The first programme in a 12-part series on the history of aviation.
Narrated by Anthony Quayle Pioneers
17 December 1903: on a windswept sand dune in North Carolina, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright , succeeded in making the first powered flight in an aeroplane made of muslin, wire and wood. In 12 seconds they changed the course of history. A new science had started - aviation had begun. Other pioneers were to follow - men like Louis Bleriot ,
Charles Lindburgh , Sir Frank Whittle and the 'Right Stuff test pilots at Edwards Air
Force Base who pushed the frontiers of flight to the very edge of space and beyond. This programme tells the story of aviation pioneers, both men and machines, with specially shot sequences, interviews with people involved and archive film not seen before on television. Film editor PETER COWER

In 1928 trainer
Harry Telford bought a horse sight unseen. Despite good blood lines, the unprepossessing horse seemed a born loser, but he went on to become Australia's greatest racehorse. The extraordinary story of Phar Lap, whose spectacular wins heartened the nation during the bleak years of the early 1930s, is meticulously recreated in Simon Wincer 's stirring film.
