Sir John Harvey-Jones , one of Britain's most successful and unconventional industrialists, offers candid advice to companies facing major decisions about the future. 1: 'In the NutcracKers....' Sir John is characteristically forthright about the predicament of the toy firm
Tri-ang. Once the world's largest toy manufacturer, its name has since passed from firm to firm. Now operating from a converted mill in Manchester, the current owners would like to relaunch the brand name and make Tri-ang great again. Can they succeed? Producer Robert Thirkell

Island in the Air. Today it may seem difficult to associate Ethiopia with wildlife. However in the south of Ethiopia a rich variety of animals and plants still flourish, providing a haunting memorial to the fertile landscapes of the country's past. Rising 13,000ft above tropical
African plains, the Bate mountains are an island refuge for unique wildlife: the rarest dog on earth, the Queen of Sheba's antelope, a bizarre giant mole rat and much more. Millions of people also depend on these table mountains for a priceless resource: water. In Ethiopia, conservation must become a vital part of long-term famine prevention.
