When a rock band goes on stage these days it faces a host of challenges, vocal, instrumental, electronic and psychological. Yes plays more complex music than most groups. How do they see the problems? Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman perform in concert and talk about themselves and their music.

Also starring Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond

When celebrated novelist Charles Condomine, who wants to write a book about spiritualism, invites to dinner a well-known 'medium,' he little realises what - or rather who - is to materialise.

Noel Coward's own screen adaptation of his famous stage success provided Margaret Rutherford with the chance to repeat on film her most inspired comic creation - the eccentric Madame Arcati.

A series of six programmes giving a view of man and his expanding society seen in the archaeological landscape of the South

Between 7,000 and 4,000 years ago, what had been a fragmented society of hunters began to show signs of a definite social order and stability. Huge monuments from that age still survive as in Stonehenge and Avebury. But others, equally impressive in their day, have disappeared. It was a primitive time, but also a time of genius.
