The fourth in a season of films starring the great Gary Cooper
Tonight with Charlton Heston and guest stars Michael Redgrave, Emlyn Williams, Cecil Parker, Alexander Knox and Virginia McKenna

A salvage vessel encounters an apparently abandoned freighter drifting in the English Channel. She is deserted except for her captain - Gideon Patch.
When he first read Hammond Innes' novel, Gary Cooper had wanted to produce a film of The Wreck of the Mary Deare and so was enthusiastic when MGM asked him to play the central character.

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

If the family cat takes a dislike to you, even bites you, there is nothing at all to be done about it. Protest is futile. Everyone will side with Pussy. If, driven to desperate measures, you plan to dispose of the creature - beware. Life isn't that simple. Nor for that matter are cats.

The Russian Soyuz flights and America's planned launching of a manned Skylab in 1973 are steps towards the establishment by the 1980s of permanent observatories outside earth's atmosphere. As well as making observations of the sun, a purpose of the first Skylab is to solve the problem of enabling crews to work efficiently during long periods of weightlessness.
Patrick Moore discusses this problem With Wing Cmdr. Tony Nicholson and explains how such observatories will help astronomers to see further into outer space.
