Five traditional tales have been re-written by Kathleen Killip
With Marian Norris

The Isle of Man is full of legend, folk lore, and fact. In olden days there were no giants, but 'Bugganes' and 'Themselves' as the fairies or l'il people were called.
From the North

Out of the many thousands of fans who crowd together on a Saturday afternoon to watch, cheer, and criticise their local teams, very few know or realise what goes on during the rest of the week.

A visitor to the compound finds life too tame for her liking, much to everyone's alarm!

Jennifer is taking the weight off her shopping-feet when, through the window of the cafe, she sees Henry in animated conversation with a totally strange but very attractive woman.

Twenty-five years after the end of the Japanese war a prisoner goes back. In company with three of his former Japanese captors John Coast, author and ex-P.O.W., revisits the scenes of his enforced labour along the banks of the River Kwai. Here, twenty-five years ago, thousands of British lives were sacrificed by the Japanese to drive a railway line through the jungle from Bangkok to Burma.

If it hadn't been for the now famous film The Bridge on the River Kwai few people would remember their epic struggle for survival. But ironically, just because of the film, fact and fiction have become somewhat confused.

Tonight's film is a personal and evocative account of just what did happen during the building of this infamous railway.

What do we make - what will they buy
Spotlight on the export drive: new ideas - new products - new markets

British Rail enters the export race. Foreign railmen queue to inspect plans and models of the Advanced Passenger Train. The 150-m.p.h. A.P.T. has received the publicity; but other projects - concrete track, plasma torches, computerised trains - may be equally big sellers overseas.
