The challenges facing wildlife cameramen John Aitchison as he attempts to film penguins diving in the Antarctic is featured on the programme this week. There's also the tale of a dramatic plot by the FBI to sabotage Citizen Kane in 1941, and Berlin in the thirties as Christopher Isherwood meets the enigmatic Sally Bowles. 

As Nigeria celebrates fifty years of Independence, one of the original colonial cadets returns to meet up with the man who became his lifelong friend. And a Scottish gamekeeper also arrives in Africa to swap jobs with a Ranger in the Kalahari desert.
