1986 SEASON
Home Sweet Hole, which launched the
Worldwise '86 season here on Channel 4,
was the first of four documentaries
revealing Patterns of Life.
Made by Anglia (Survival) TV and the
Oxford Scientific Film unit, each film
reveals in detail how life goes on in
various small worlds.
Next Sunday the series will continue
with It's A Frog's Life, which shows
that frogs and toads are not merely
slimy things that go jump in the night.
In fact, frogs and toads are amongst
evolution's great successes, having
flourished on earth for over a hundred
million years! More >

Patterns of Life continues on Sunday
March 16 with Birth of the Bees - a
celebration of the complex social
interaction of bees which has, for
centuries, enthralled mankind.
And the series concludes with Flights
of Fancy. No, this isn't a film about
pigeons, but one showing how insects
choose and court their mates.
From ugly dung flies, to elegant
Tiger moths, all insects follow an
elaborate pattern of courtship, with
each species having its own, unique
flourishes.

documentaries reflecting different
aspects of the environment, the natural
world and conservation.
From March through to the end of April
the emphasis will be on the natural
world.
Patterns of Life will be followed by
films from all over the wgrld, such as
The Lords Of Hokkaido, portraying the
changing seasons in Northern Japan and
the lives of a family of foxes.
In May the emphasis will switch to a
series on the Crisis In Africa.

1986 SEASON
The World Wise season is not, however,
going to be merely restricted to Sunday
evenings...
From April 10 there'll be a new series
called Worldwise Reports which will be
packed with information on conservation
and environmental issues.
This weekly magazine will be concerned
with the threats to the environment,
highlighting the practical action that
can be taken to thwart the dangers.
And if you've ever wondered what the
destruction of a tropical forest has
got to do with you, then tune in, as
the series will show you why and how.

1986 SEASON
Did you see The Longest Running Show
On Earth last May? If you did then you
may just remember the institution of
the Cow Pat Awards.
These were granted to any individual,
authority or company who had shown an
outstanding aptitude for desecrating
the countryside, and Worldwise Reports
will continue to award them.
But, just to show the picture isn't all
black, there'll be the odd Cowslip
Award too, for those who've shown they
care. If you'd like to give or receive
more info on these contact:

snowy wastes of the north.
Durrell in Russia begins on Sunday
