Sixth of eight programmes on the mammals of Britain Presented by Tony Soper Watching and trying to understand animals is a very perplexing business. Foxes, rabbits and hares are part of our childhood, celebrated in nursery rhyme and fable, and we have a vested interest in there being a healthy population of each species.
But it's far from being a friendly and cosy world, and is very much one of predator and prey.

A series of seven programmes 5: Now You See It, Now You Don
Famine in parts of Africa is becoming endemic. Soil erosion and spreading areas of desert are reducing the amount of land available for cultivation, while at the same time the population is rising. The situation is not helped by the overgrazing of animals, or by widespread deforestation, which contributes to the frequency of the droughts. But the cutting down of forests still ravages other parts of the world.
John Seymour reports from around the world.
John Ormond narrates.

Jim has his first real encounter with the Foreign Office, and finds himself asking whether they are there to carry out government policy or whether they believe the government is there to carry out Foreign Office policy.
Chillingly accurate ... not only deserves its popularity but also helps to sustain our democracy.
