Christmas in the Sun
Twenty-five young people from Somerset set out on an expedition to Ghana in West Africa.
In today's film they tell how they celebrated a Christmas with their Ghanaian hosts' families and enjoyed traditional Ghanaian food. As well as visiting castles, joining in with the fishermen and buying souvenirs in the markets, they went for a 50-mile trek through tropical rain forests and helped a remote village to build a new school.

Paul McCartney and Wings
From the earliest recording session of WINGS, the band is followed through its last major world tour. Problems created by fans, security and setting up for each gig are contrasted with a spectacle of the large American and Australian concerts, and the solitude of Paul and Linda's family life on the Mull of Kintyre.
Among the dozen or so songs are Band on the Run ', 'Jet', 'Live and Let Die ' and a moving solo performance of ' Yesterday '.

"The black lamb stood on its head and twirled like a top; rebounded from Balthazar's knees and collided with frail Caspar's, knocking him into Melchior's arms. Kings and caskets went flying in a higgledy-piggledy heap."
