Clowns of the Air
The puffin, one of the world's most loveable birds, has the comical but tragic qualities of a clown. This award-winning programme follows puffins into their underground burrows, and under the sea, where the birds become efficient hunters, "flying" underwater. Narrator David Attenborough.

Two Ulster schoolchildren star in this charming comedy about a 10-year-old country girl who comes to the big city (Belfast) for a music festival. Henrietta sets out to take the musical establishment by storm by playing her unusual choice of instrument, the accordion.
Twelve-year-old Kara Bowman , who plays Henri, is herself an accordion champion. "We put advertisements in the local papers and received thousands of replies," says director Simon Shore. "We chose a brilliant accordionist with no acting experience, but she turned out to be a natural."
Henri's trip is a revelation for the Protestant used to a quiet existence, when she lodges with the Catholic Dougan family.
