The Return of Holman Hunt
A large exhibition of pictures at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London makes it possible to re-examine Holman Hunt-the artist for so long considered to typify all that was best and worst in Victorian art. Edwin Mullins introduces a film which includes among other old favourites 'The Scapegoat' and 'The Light of the World.'

Three Passions
The longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These three passions; according to Bertrand Russell, have governed his life. This week Volume 3 of his monumental Autobiography is published. The two previous volumes have already been compared with Rousseau and Pascal.
Tonight Release looks at Russell, his three passions, and the controversy they have aroused, with the help of his own reminiscences on tape and film. Other contributors include his family and friends, Michael Foot, M.P., and Professor A.J. Ayer.
