David Frost talks to Tennessee Williams - a rare television appearance by the American playwright.

Williams talks freely and intimately about his alcoholism, 'I'm just on myself now'; his philosophy, 'that romanticism is absolutely essential'; his God, 'I think he has odd moments of compassion'; and his loves, 'I don't want to be involved in some subject for scandal but I've covered the waterfront.'

He explains the relationship between his life and his writing and discusses excerpts from A Street-car Named Desire, Camino Real, and The Rose Tattoo performed by Jessica Tandy, Maureen Stapleton, and Eli Wallach.

This programme is in sharp contrast to the first of the series with the Burtons. Frost extracts a very personal interview from Tennessee Williams. He is a soft, timid man: the power of his writing, in the excerpts we hear, contrasts remarkably with the reticence of their author.

Six true stories of people who survived against all odds

They call it the Never-Never-Land - because people never, never go there. Bob Ritchie certainly hadn't meant to go there. He lost his way while gliding and was forced to crash-land somewhere in the millions of acres of scorched desert and bush surrounding the small town of Alice Springs in central Australia.
He had no food and no water, in temperatures that soared as high as 140°F. An intensive air search had been mounted - but 50 miles away. And after two days even that would be abandoned because out there 48 hours is reckoned to be the limit.
Bob Ritchie's is just one of the many stories from this rugged country, where anyone who strays off 'the bitumen' (the only made-up road) stands a pretty good chance of 'doing a perish.'
A co-production with the Australian Broadcasting Commission

Robert Robinson recalls the events of March 1950. The Labour Party had a majority of six in the Commons - Emanuel Shinwell remembers the difficulty of governing on such a margin. Klaus Fuchs was found guilty of espionage and, in America, Richard Nixon proved a vital witness in the prosecution of Alger Hiss. President Auriol of France visited the Festival of Britain, Mr Teasy-Weasy created the H Bomb style hair-do, and a new word entered Fleet Street's vocabulary -'cosh boy.'
On film Jack Warner was gunned down by Dirk Bogarde in The Blue Lamp, Antony Armstrong-Jones coxed the Cambridge boat to victory. Gordon Richards won the Lincoln and Gilbert Harding presided over another telepathic miracle by The Piddingtons
