Debussy Preludes played by Cecile Ousset.
The 24 piano preludes were almost all inspired by visual images; a Greek vase, an ancient Egyptian town or simply a countryside scene. The Burrell Collection, built among woods and fields in Glasgow's Pollock Park and housing a rich treasure store of artefacts and paintings is an appropriate setting for this recital of the 12 preludes from Book 1.

The Young Ones
Youth unemployment - for long the curse of the 1980s - could soon be a thing of the past.
The number of teenagers in Britain is falling steeply and will go on declining for the next ten years. But the shortage of school leavers will bring new problems in its wake and employers will have to completely re-think their recruitment policies. Producer VICTOR MARMION

An African odyssey in three parts.
^Footprints in the Valley.
The earth's crust blisters, cracks, and splits. A valley so vast as to be visible from space is creating a variety of new African landscapes -
Plains, massive cliffs, forests and smouldering volcanoes. Each brims with its own special wealth of species - mountain gorillas, black serval cats and colobus monkeys. One animal managed to live in nearly all the new landscapes, adopting an upright posture making movement easier and leaving forelimbs free.
Man was born here in the Great Rift of Africa.

Murder was his speciality: he spoke at the trials of Dr Ruxton, Alfred Arthur Rouse and Clarence Hatry. Here Lord Birkett reflects on his life at the Bar, on being a judge, and on his involvement in the Nuremberg trials.
