The United Space Ship Enterprise continuing her patrols through the trackless oceans of the universe, is ordered on a rescue mission. This week, in "The Naked Time," she has to evacuate a team of scientists from a planet which is at the end of its life and is about to break up; and then observe and record the process of disintegration while orbiting at a safe distance. But what is a safe distance when a world is in its violent, fiery death-throes? A deadly and unexpected peril arises - and before long Captain Kirk and his crew seem to be hurtling to destruction...

At 6.50* the Apollo 11 astronauts are due to reappear from behind the moon. If all has gone well and the Service Module engine has fired correctly they should have slowed down and gone into orbit ready for preparations for landing. If not, Apollo 11 will be on its way home with the whole mission cancelled. A report by James Burke with Patrick Moore from the Apollo Space Studio

featuring one of the screen's great stars and finest actors James Cagney
with Margaret Lindsay, Ann Dvorak, Robert Armstrong

Cagney on fine form and with lists flying as a young lawyer who joins the G-Men to avenge the death of a friend.
Writing of Cagney's career in 1951, Kenneth Tynan said: 'At his best (Public Enemy, The Mayor of Hell, G-Men, White Heat) he flouts every standard of social behaviour with a disarming Irish pungency which makes murder look like an athletic exercise of high spirits and not a mean and easy transgression. He sweetened killing; and to have done this immediately after the Capone regime, during the era of the concentration camp and between two lacerating wars, is something of an achievement.'
