by Georg Buchner
Freely adapted for television by Stuart Griffiths and Alan Clarke
with Norman Rodway as Danton, Ian Richardson as Robespierre
Danton's Death is arguably the most dramatic and penetrating study of revolution ever written. Georg Buchner who died aged only 23 in 1837, and who is a major influence behind much of the drama of the 20th century, paints a rich canvas of the French Revolution. It covers the debates at the National Assembly, the reeking streets of Paris, the salons and the brothels, the warring political factions, the secret arrests, and the grim scenes of execution. Buchner concentrates on that moment in 1794 when the Reign of Terror, already well established, spills over into a total blood-bath. The play, both highly imaginative and closely documentary, shows how the great hero of the early phase of the Revolution, Danton, sickened by the excesses of the guillotine, which he helped to create, wants to call a halt. But Robespierre and Saint-Just, the leaders of the extremists, with a ferocious puritanical zeal, spur on 'the wild horses of the Revolution.'

Is the Occult Fact or Faith? with Colin Wilson and Dr Christopher Evans
In this series specially invited interviewers cross-question guests of their own choice on crucial spiritual issues.
COLIN WILSON , writer, and DR CHRISTOPHER EVANS , research psychologist, are old friends. But their beliefs are very different. WILSON is the author of The Occult. He believes that we possess, and are surrounded by, hidden powers which established science refuses to acknowledge, and that we now need a new kind of science which will help us to get in touch with this world of the occult, DR EVANS has written a book called Cults of Unreason. He attacks such beliefs as Wilson's as muddled and misguided and says the scientific method still offers the best path to an understanding of ourselves and the universe.
Tonight he questions Colin Wilson about his views, and asks: are they really based on fact, or are they just a matter of faith?

11: Holloway Road
A mile from Euston Station there's an Irish church where on Saint Patrick's Night a packed congregation hears the mass in Irish, there are Irish pubs with Irish music, Irishmen who talk together in their own language and send their wages home to their families in Connemara, and many fanatical football followers who support the Irish stars of Arsenal. An island of Irishness in the heart of London.
