One Pair of Eyes, the celebrated series of highly personal films, ran for eight years, from 1967-1974. For this series one programme from each of those years has been selected.

1974 - Eric Newby says: I Didn't Know Life Would be Like This!
In this film the distinguished writer and traveller Eric Newby, bicycles down Park Lane in the rush-hour, climbs the rigging of a four-masted barque, goes in search of an Atlantic storm and looks back not too seriously at some of the adventures in his extraordinary life. With the aid of many of his own photographs of his travels, he expresses his belief that to make the most of life one must grasp the opportunities it offers.
