The voyages of the Star Ship Enterprise across man's final frontier - space!
Its mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilisations, to go boldly where no man has gone before.

A freak of gravity propels the U.S.S. Enterprise into the past to become a 'UFO' of the 1960s.
Not the least of Captain Kirk's problems is to decide what on Earth can be done so that the captured fighter pilot can take his allotted place in history.

A season of films featuring one of the screen's great stars and finest actors.
[Starring] James Cagney
with Dorothy Malone, Jane Greer, Jim Backus

Cagney's performance tonight is a tribute to a great star of Hollywood's silent era: the life story of Lon Chaney - whose most famous films included The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera.
Cagney makes no attempt to resemble his subject except in the accurately restaged extracts from Chaney's four most popular films. He does this, however, capturing poignantly Chaney's relationship with his deaf-mute parents - a factor which had a major effect in moulding his career and giving his performance an element of sympathy and pathos.

Ned Sherrin looks back at news of the week - with questions designed to test both wits and memories
The William Rushton Trio challenge The Team of Roy Boulting

Quiz of the Week is an attempt to have one's cake and eat it. There are questions about the week; there could be answers; failing an answer there could be a joke; failing a joke there could be an argument; failing an argument there is always another question. The programme hopes, with a minimum of rules or scoreboards, to give two teams of people who are professionals concerned with the events of the week a chance to remember them, react to them, insult or condemn them.
William Rushton's trio, the resident team, acts as a constant in this changing world and ensures a measure of information, a modicum of irrelevance, and a maximum of wit.
