A series of seven programmes
Narrated by Barry Norman
"Six seconds on a bull is a long time, especially when you know that each ride could be your last," says 23-year-old cowgirl Sue Pirtle. She's been competing in professional All-Girl Rodeos since she was ten. She is petite, attractive and tough; she needs to be, to compete in what is known as the 'Suicide Circuit'.
They call her the Oklahoma Cowgirl and all summer she travels from rodeo to rodeo. She specialises in riding bareback horses and two-ton bulls, for prize money: a little money for a lot of danger.
All-Girl Rodeos are becoming increasingly popular in the USA as cowgirls now bring glamour and guts to a sport traditionally dominated by men. This film follows Sue Pirtle through two spectacular rodeos in California and Arizona, as she seeks the title of World Champion Rodeo Girl.

But the girl they all have to beat is the 16-year-old European Champion Anett Poetzsch of East Germany. Commentator ALAN WEEKS

Robin Richmond looks at the world of cinema organs now that their heyday has passed. He demonstrates how the organ accompanied silent movies and visits organ enthusiasts around the country who have installed these ' monsters ' in unlikely places, including a church, a car showroom and two in the living-room of a house in Northolt, and talks to them about their dedication to the preservation of these magnificent instruments.
