"An exhilarating study of a Staffordshire infants school and its headmistress, Lil Thompson" (New Statesman)
"Lil Thompson herself was a stunner, a teacher in a million, a great storyteller, a compulsive chatterbox, passionately interested in everything... it was a riveting look at a marvellous character" (Daily Mail)
"The unobtrusive camera went everywhere, the sound caught each breathy moment of childhood. We had the school in its every mood" (The Times)

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

This nickname for the 35-ton Californian Greys was coined when a 19th-century whaling captain stumbled on their breeding grounds in the desert lagoons of Baja California. Only after years of slaughter were the whales eventually protected, and now Cousteau follows some of the remaining 8,000 as they cover the last part of the 5,000-mile migration from their Arctic feeding grounds.
In the desert lagoons Cousteau and his team watch these giants underwater, the care of the mothers for their young, and then make a desperate attempt to save the life of a stranded baby whale.
Produced by Les Requins Associes and Metromedia Producers Corporation (from Bristol; first shown on BBC2)

A season of British films featuring acts of courage in the face of the enemy: this week starring Edward Underdown, Helen Cherry, Ralph Clanton

The story of the wartime comradeship between an Englishman and an American who served together in the Welsh battalion of the Guards Armoured Division during World War II. To add to the realistic treatment of this exciting but deeply moving film, director Terence Young chose a complete cast of ex-servicemen - a fitting tribute to the men of the Guards Armoured Division.
