Summer Review

on BBC Two England

Introduced by David Jones

Film Extras
Film extras, known until recently in the trade as 'cattle,' are the stuffing without which no film could be made. There are 2,500 extras in the London area alone. Review takes a young girl, an old woman and a middle-aged man and looks at the film industry through their eyes.

Alan Bennett visits Bernard Berenson
Alan Bennett recalls an informal visit to the famous art historian and collector Bernard Berenson on the eve of the second world war.

The Tribal Image
The Ethnography section of the British Museum has recently found a new home in Piccadilly. Review went there to take a close look at the strange and beautiful primitive sculptures in the newly housed collection.

Solar Plexus
Nucleus is a group which brings together some of the most exciting talents of rock and modern jazz in Britain. Trumpeter Ian Carr, who formed the band, has written a suite called Solar Plexus which explores the conflict between the human body and the abstract background of the modern world.
Review asked choreographer David Drew to help realise it for television.
