A film series in which the famous underwater explorer takes his oceanographic vessel Calypso on a voyage of adventure and scientific discovery.

Upon the unpredictable, reef-strewn Caribbean once sailed the legendary galleons of the Spanish treasure fleets. Of the riches plundered from the New World, more than £200-million in bullion and precious stones plunged to the bottom of the sea.
Now, for the first time in their long voyage, Cousteau and his men assemble a sophisticated arsenal of deep-sea salvage equipment. This includes a temperamental excavator, which they call 'The Monster' and which they use to sift 300 tons of coral debris in their hunt for treasure trove.
Produced by Les Requins Associes and Metromedia Producers Corporation (from Bristol; first shown on BBC2)

A film about church bells and the people who ring them
England, alone in the world, has perfected the art of change-ringing ... and will not lightly surrender her unique heritage. (Dorothy L. Sayers)
'Susan started ringing when she was 10...'
'You're met as friends in a tower, and I don't think there's anything can beat it...'
'I was never a lover of bells, the noisy things...'

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: War Between Men and Women
It's no joke when the wife interrupts the telling of hubby's favourite tale and persistent public display of this feminine failing inevitably raises the old Adam in man. The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the world but that which controls the credit card holds the trump!
