A Dramatic Cantata by Brian Nash and Stephen Davies
Performed in the Church of St. Mary Aldermary in the City of London

This is the story of three young delinquents. While hiding in a church two of them find themselves confronted with a choice - to save themselves or to save their friend. Their own attitudes and thoughts are expressed in music by the members of a nearby youth club. The call to a different way out comes from the music of the church choir. Under these two influences they make their choice.

Does life point to the reality of God? Does Christ point to the meaning of life?

Robert Robinson introduces Rosemary Haughton, Marghanita Laski, Baroness Stocks, Shivaji Lai, Lord Ritchie-Calder who are joined tonight by The Rev. Dr. George Caird
Why has the Story of Man worked out the way it has? Some see in it only the clash of human wills, others believe there is evidence of a divine purpose at work. The debate matters to everybody because whatever forces shaped the story of man are likely to be still at work shaping the story of our own times and of our own lives. Among those who believe that God has revealed himself to be active in history is tonight's visitor to this discussion series. He sees this manifested in the course of events leading to the writing of the various books of the Bible, but this is a belief which will certainly be challenged in tonight's discussion.

The first of two programmes on the great Russian impresario
Introduced by Peter Ustinov

The story of Diaghilev's early life and of the first seasons of his legendary ballet company from 1909 until the outbreak of war in 1914, as told by his friends and colleagues:
Tamara Karsavina, Lydia Sokolova, Dame Marie Rambert, Dame Ninette de Valois,
Sacheverell Sitwell, Leonide Massine, Nicolas Nabokov, Igor Markevitch, Cecil Beaton, Cyril Beaumont, Anton Dolin, Laura Wilson and the voice of the late Alexandre Benois
Written and produced by John Drummond
A BBC tv-Bavarian TV Service co-production

In 1909 Serge Diaghilev brought a ballet company out of Russia which revolutionised thinking about the nature of ballet and its possibilities. For twenty years the Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev toured Europe and America blazing a trail of colour, excitement. and theatrical splendour that created legends that are still remembered today forty years after his death.
As well as presenting some of the greatest dancers the world has ever seen-people like Nijinsky, Karsavina, Spessivtzeva, and Lifar-Diaghilev had an artistic policy: it was to bring into his company the best composers and the best painters of his time. Tonight's programme tells the story of his early years up to the outbreak of war in 1914. 'The Years in Exile' carries it through until his death in 1929.
