A Ripe Old Age
Photography, especially fashion photography, is a competitive profession peopled by thrusting young men, yet the man who stays securely on top is 66. Famous magazines and fashion houses send Norman Parkinson all over the world, and-the final professional accolade-when he's travel-weary they send the models to him in his home in the Caribbean island of Tobago.
Fyfe Robertson thinks 'Parks' finds his work a lark, but if he does it's a lark he takes seriously when it comes to planning and taking photographs. And he usually gets his own way, as when he insisted, while Robbie was interviewing him, on taking portrait photos at a distance of two feet. But that didn't spoil a lively question-and-answer session with a man who is as revealing and unexpected and witty in words, as he can be in photographs.

with John Pitman
A series of six programmes which follow the fortunes of people who have decided to risk a dramatic change in their lives.
2:Poverty, Chastity, Obedience
For three years Elizabeth Edwards , 24, has been torn between her family and her vocation. Her parents want her to go on living with them - but she wants to join a contemplative order and become a nun.
Last year she made her decision. Despite the distress to her parents, Elizabeth applied to enter a Benedictine convent in Oxford-shire - and was accepted. ' I love my parents, but this had to come first,' she says. ' I knew I had to make the decision otherwise I'd regret it for the rest of my life.'
Elizabeth, a secretary in television drama, has an identical twin sister, Ann, who has been standing by her throughout the conflict in the family. The worldly sacrifices Elizabeth is making are underlined by the fact that her twin is married and expecting a baby.
This is the story of Elizabeth's last few weeks of freedom and her first year in the convent where she hopes to devote the rest of her life to prayer.
