Oranges, sunshine, surfing, Hollywood - that's modern California.
But it is also smog, garbage, overcrowded roads and sprawling cities. A thousand people a day pour in to add to the 20 million already there. From the highest snowy mountains to the lowest hottest deserts, man's impact has been felt -by sea elephants, snow geese, Californian condors, sea otters, and the grey whales that spend half their life on an amazing migration.

Starring Kenneth More
with Ronald Squire, Mandy Miller

This leisurely, likeable comedy immediately followed More's success in "Genevieve" and "Doctor in the House". In it he plays a naval commander who returns home on leave and finds himself in charge of his three mischievous and very lively children! The harassed father has to cope with many problems but finds as he gallantly struggles on that a little naval discipline helps a good deal.

by John Foster and Fred Burnley

Raymond Chandler, creator of the 'Philip Marlowe' mystery thrillers, died in 1959. This film, made in Chandler's own home in California, helped to win an Award of the Society of Film and Television Arts for Fred Burnley. Chandler's life and creative attitudes are portrayed, in dramatised excerpts from his letters and novels, revealing conflicting aspects: the sensitive, diffident writer - and the tough, cool private-eye hero.

"I thought it perfectly superb. Up among the best 10 programmes I have ever seen." (Nancy Banks-Smith, The Sun)
"The programme was a memorable piece of work. Chandler's scenes leap to dramatic life at the first opportunity." (Henry Raynor, The Times)

An invitation to step into the humorous and imaginative world of James Thurber
A series based on a selection of his famous stories and cartoons starring William Windom as John Monroe, Joan Hotchkis as his wife Ellen, Lisa Gerritsen as his daughter Lydia

This week: Little girls are sugar and spice - and not always nice
Being a father is in itself a defeating vicissitude. How could cruel fate add the further indignity of a daughter so superior in intellect that the wretched infant can, quite unforgivably, win every game of chess? Life is like that.
