With Jane Garvey. At 21 years of age, Lily Cole has already succesfully pursued two careers - high-end modelling and acting - and still finds to time to do a degree at Cambridge University. In her latest film, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, she plays the part of a young girl on the eve of her 16th birthday. Jane talks to Lily about her eventful life. Children born late in the school year are more likely to be referred to a psychiatrist or assessed as having Special Education Needs. But their problems could simply be due to their age - experiencing failure or stress or comparing themselves unfavourably to their older classmates. So what can be done to help? For almost two decades, programme-maker Martha Holmes has been bringing the natural world to the comfort of our living rooms. She has helped capture on film some of nature's rarest and most exceptional animals from polar bears to Chilean stag beetles. Her latest TV series tell the stories of over 130 animals and takes a closer look at the behaviours that are key to their survival.
