Episode 1 • Jan 04, 1986
After the Ice
Ten thousand years ago the Ice Age ended in Britain. The melting glaciers revealed a bare and lifeless landscape. The magnificent golden eagle takes us to the coldest peaks of Scotland where ice-age animals still survive.
Episode 2 • Jan 11, 1986
Streams Of Life
Leaping salmon return every year to British lakes and rivers that after the Ice Age became the lifeblood of a reawakened landscape. From its source a river carves a richly varied course before mingling with the sea.
Episode 3 • Jan 18, 1986
Beneath the Greenwood
Woodland is the natural wilderness of the British Isles; left to itself, landscape would be covered by trees - almost to the top of every mountain.
Episode 4 • Jan 25, 1986
Island Waters
The seas surrounding the British Isles are their greatest untouched wilderness. They have a natural history as fascinating as the land. Beneath the surface lies a mysterious world that teems with wildlife.
Episode 5 • Feb 01, 1986
Time and Tide
The British coastline is always on the move. Today, in response to the rhythm of the tides, wildlife flourishes in this restless no-man's land.
Episode 6 • Feb 08, 1986
Out of the Flames
In the wake of the woodland felled and burned by our ancestors, spread the new landscapes of heathland and moor. This is the natural history of most ancient landscapes made by man.
Episode 7 • Feb 15, 1986
Fresh Pastures
As our ancestors cleared the forest, so nature responded with fields of flowers. The colorful sights and sounds of these first pastures can still be discovered.
Episode 8 • Feb 22, 1986
Under the Plough
With farming came a new way of life for the plants and animals that took to the fields and hedgerows fashioned from the forest. The crops sown by first farmers battled with wild flowers that bloomed on the bare soil
Episode 9 • Mar 01, 1986
Sheltering with Man
Ever since our ancestors lived in caves we have shared our homes with wildlife. To the animals that live with us, our modern world is simply a backdrop for the natural drama of their lives.
Episode 10 • Mar 08, 1986
New Landscapes
Much of our wildlife has found refuge in our 20th-century landscapes. These unofficial nature reserves supplement those that preserve more ancient, fragile landscapes.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
