A new quiz series featuring United Kingdom v. Canada
For the first half of this international series, United Kingdom students from London, Glasgow, and Belfast are hosts to students from Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto. The United Kingdom students will be guests of the Canadians in Canada for the second half of the series, which includes the Final.
A Joint BBC-CBC production
The expression 'Group 68' means a great deal to twenty-four young Canadian and British students who, over a period of four weeks, met in competition both in the United Kingdom and Canada.
None of the students had met before the series began, but 'the group' became so integrated during the tour that. to quote one of the students, 'For us, the group was everything, the world outside almost ceased to exist'.

The story of men against the Eiger
Told by Christopher Brasher

Thirty-three young men have died on the North Face of the Eiger - the most dangerous mountain wall in the Alps. Yet still men venture into this cold, white, vertical hell: a place which has been the stage for human drama, for heroism, for cowardice, for ultimate endurance - even for alleged murder.

The Eiger Wall was first climbed thirty years ago - 'the last great problem in the Alps.' Tonight's programme tells the story of the men who have found, in this 6,000-ft.-high face, the ultimate challenge to their skill and courage.

With contributions by Delmar Banner, The Rev. Austen Williams and Lord Denning
(Film)

Many people with no particular interest in sculpture stop to look at the work of this artist when the Christmas cribs appear in Trafalgar Square, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Church of England Cathedral in Liverpool. In this programme she reveals some other of her many interests - in portrait sculpture, in delinquent boys, in blind children, and in the sculptured landscape of the Lake District.
