Says Fanny Cradock, who at various times has been given such diverse titles as the High Priestess of the Kitchen and the Lady Macbeth of Cooking, 'I started talking on TV in 1953, and I've never stopped since'. And devotees of her colourful and instructive programmes will wish that she may long continue.

A series of romantic feature films
starring Olivia de Havilland, Richard Burton
Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier

Written and produced by Nunnally Johnson

A late-nineteenth-century tale of love, death, and revenge is set in Italy and Cornwall, the latter having formed the background to many of Daphne du Maurier's other tales. This was the film that really established Richard Burton as a major screen actor and resulted in a Hollywood contract.

An unknown soldier of the Great War returns for the first time to the battlefields of fifty years ago
They were so young many of those boys-the mark of the schoolbag was scarcely off their shoulders
I remember in the early spring hearing a skylark... it seemed funny to hear such a beautiful song in a place like this
A laddie who didn'know where he was going-and many more like me ...
I'm just imagining in my mind what it was like...
They wished not for fame... and not for glory.
They hoped for a better world And for such a dream
No cost seemed too high

by John Galsworthy.
dramatised by Lawrie Craig.
Starring Kenneth More, Eric Porter, Nyree Dawn Porter

It is twenty years since the rebel Forsyte, young Jolyon, broke away from the family circle. Since then some of the older generation have died including Aunt Ann and old Jolyon; and also Jo's second wife, Helene. Now, on the eve of the South African war it is Jo who is living at Robin Hill, the ill-fated house which was built by Bosinney for Soames and Irene. These two have not lived together since Bosinney's death; but in his middle age Soames wants a son so he has visited Irene to ask for a divorce.
