Tonight's film stars Terry-Thomas, Tuesday Weld, Richard Beymer, Celeste Holm

In his Hollywood debut Terry-Thomas demonstrates that the well-bred Englishman may lose his trousers - but never his composure! As an English professor of archaeology at an American college he is unrelentingly pursued by the female population - and one particularly determined young lady in the shapely shape of Tuesday Weld.

Written by Dom Moraes
The political climate of India today takes one 200 years back to the country that existed before the British came. It is as though, in the 23 years since Independence, the decades of British rule have been forgotten. India seems to have reverted to the old concept of small states, the people owing loyalty to their states rather than to the country.
Can this huge country with its 550 million people remain the stronghold of democracy in Asia?
Tonight's film is an impression of India as it now strikes Dom Moraes, the Indian-born poet and author. Dom Moraes left India 16 years ago and returned last year to see his own country through western eyes.
