with Gilbert Wynne
This week's stories tell of the days when England was a country of deep forests which hid many secrets, and where men went in time of danger-men like Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

A new collection of five Robin Hood stories has recently been published by the BBC as a paperback in the 'Jackanory' series. Written by Edward Blishen, the tales are based on old ballads and reveal something of the period's historical background. - 'Robin Hood' can be ordered through booksellers, price 3s. 6d. or by post (price 4s. 3d. including postage and packing) from BBC Publications, [address removed].

by Tom Kirkwood
Starring James Ellis and Derek Waring
with Paul Angelis, Douglas Fielding, Bernard Holley

Quilley plucks up the courage to contact Beth - an old flame, but for her the glow is fading. Chris, her new boyfriend and school-mate of Quilley's, seems to be living well beyond his apparent means. Protective hackles raised, Quilley's unofficial enquiries about Chris and Goss's investigation of a series of petty thefts and minor break-ins begin to find common ground.

A documentary in three parts from the book by William Shirer.

With Hitler and the Nazis firmly established in power-by due constitutional process-Europe looked on paralysed. The democracies, weakened by the First War, further weakened by a world depression, took no effective action as Hitler marched into Austria and Czechoslovakia, and at home started to implement his racial theories. Munich bought a humiliating respite, but the invasion of Poland meant that the democracies had at last to make a stand. Not much of a stand; the German armies and air force scored easy victories over Poland and later Denmark and Norway, Holland and Belgium - and France. At Dunkirk, a British army escaped by the skin of its teeth...

The export drive: spotlight on the men, the methods, the markets that are earning Britain's living abroad.

Late this month - traditional cider time - the presses start to turn. But for one firm they've been turning all summer, making wine from strawberries, bilberries, gooseberries, redcurrants, white-currants... much of it to slake foreign thirsts.
