Animated double bill featuring the crazy world of Ren, the grouchy chihuahua, and his gullible feline sidekick Stimpy.

A Yard Too Far
A vicious baboon foils the duo's attempts to steal some food.

Followed by Circus Midgets
Ren and Stimpy run into a couple of crazed circus performers.

The first in a diverse seven-part series which looks at the power and appeal of music and music-making for ordinary people throughout Britain.

The passion, drama and obsession surrounding flamenco has captured the hearts of a growing number of British devotees who regularly don Cuban heels and frilled skirts in search of an experience that will make their hearts beat faster.

Among their number is Helen Nattrass, Project Manager for London Underground's Jubilee Line extension, who spends her lunch hour out of hard hat and wellies, practising the intricate steps in her portacabin. "People are fascinated that somebody who appears to be reasonably ordinary gets up and does this extraordinary dancing," she says.

Learning flamenco requires energy and determination. A young boy devotes his Saturdays to the art, while a mother and daughter perform Sevillanas in their kitchen. But they all agree that flamenco enriches their lives, as this film discovers.
