Tommy Mac lives in Liverpool and is just an ordinary boy, but he has a talent for getting into the most extraordinary adventures. He usually means well so it's not always his fault when things go wrong.

Mr Mumford, Mr Claypole and Mr Davenport have no money to pay the rent. But instead of an eviction order, Mr Meaker, their landlord, has a brilliant idea - the ghosts can present a concert starring the world's greatest artists, like Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare...

In this, the last programme of the series, Jesse Owens, the greatest athlete of his time, who would have been a champion in any era, retells the story of his triumph in Berlin when he won four Olympic gold medals. But Owens's victories must be told against the political climate of the times, when Nazism was in full spate and intimidation of creed and race was the order of the day. It is hard enough to win an Olympic gold in normal times, but for a coloured athlete to win four in Berlin in 1936, against a background of hysteria and fanaticism, makes his achievement all the more remarkable.

Since 1969 more than 15,000 people have been injured in the civil disturbances in Northern Ireland, and almost half of them have been treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

The RVH is a distinguished Research and Teaching Hospital. Now in the front line, the staff have had the misfortune to acquire exceptional experience in dealing with disaster and with the type of injuries incurred in urban warfare - so widespread in the world today. The main features of the Belfast experience have been the short time between injury and treatment, and the availability of a first-class casualty centre where emergency sorting is highly organised.

Surgery of Violence includes a sequence filmed one night in the casualty department, when the victims of two bombs were admitted within the space of an hour. The film reflects the horror of that night, and the way the staff cope.
