Ten programmes in a Business Studies course

A contract may be less valid than it first appears for a number of reasons. This week's programme looks at things that can go wrong with contracts. For instance: you sell your car to a schoolgirl who pays by cheque. The cheque bounces.
You win a £50 bet with a friend. He refuses to pay.
You buy a patent medicine 'guaranteed to cure everything from hiccup to loss of virility'. You drink it... and hiccup.
You are an undertaker and you buy a hearse that has been 'totally reconditioned', and which last transported 'none other than his Grace, the Duke of Burwash'. Neither statement is true.
What is your legal position in these situations?
Written and introduced by Michael Molyneux
These programmes are linked with the English Law series broadcast on Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. on Radio 3

Eight eventful days in Czechoslovakia seen through the eyes of one prominent Czech. Eight days that for him ended in exile.
Now Kamil Winter, former Head of News and Current Affairs in the Czechoslovak Television Service, gives his account of the Russian invasion and the response of his fellow-countrymen. It is a story that could be told a thousand different ways-but always a story with a common hero-the Czechoslovak people.

A film about a man: a pit: a community, by Philip Donnellan
Celebrating the life of Jack Elliot of Birtley, Co. Durham and his wife Emma.
In 1962 Jack talked to a film camera about his life as a miner, how he had hammered out his social, political, and religious convictions. In 1966 he died. In 1967 the 300-year-old pit where four generations of his family had worked was finally demolished. These events set against the background of change in the North East are the basis of this tribute.
A discussion on the issues arising from this film: next Sunday at 6.15 p.m.

The Great Stars of yesterday and today in a season of their most memorable films
[Starring] James Mason
with Broderick Crawford, Dorothy Dandridge
Written and directed by Andrew Stone

Captain Rumill is given command of the SS Bericind, a rusty old freighter, and takes over in a mood of resentment and unrest, which is further increased when he sails from New Zealand with a Maori cook and his extravagantly beautiful wife. This explosive situation is exploited to his own ends by an unscrupulous deck-hand, Scott, and his mate, Martin. They plan to murder the entire crew and then claim salvage money for the ship. But the best-laid plans can go awry... This suspenseful thriller keeps up its pace throughout, and James Mason gives his usual highly polished performance as the captain. Dorothy Dandridge who became famous following her role in Carmen Jones is suitably sultry as the cook's wife.
