Historic
houses Inside Out investigates the property developers who tear down
historic houses. Historian Maxwell Craven decries the destruction of big
old suburban town houses with spacious grounds to make way for flats. One
of the buildings close to his heart which is under threat is at Chaddesden in
Derby. "The Cheese House" as it's known locally is one of the
many which might fall victim to the growing pressure to build more housing on
so called brown field sites. Maxwell says some of our cities finest buildings
in a very real danger. Ray Gosling goes on the buses

Broadcaster Ray Gosling returns to Inside Out for an affectionate look at bus
travel through some uncovered archive film of buses in the East Midlands dating
back to the 50's. Ray finds some old vintage Barton's buses standing in
a garage where they've been since they went out of service many decades ago. He
also explores new ways to use the buses today as we are all encouraged to use
public transport to cut pollution and ease congestion. Tiger man

photographer.

yet - a trip that cost him his life savings and brought him face to face with
one of the world's most dangerous predators聟 the endangered Bengal tiger
