Britain's New Bomb
Presented by Fred Emery and Robin Day
Mrs Thatcher 's government is about to announce one of its most expensive and important purchases-a new strategic nuclear missiles system which wilt maintain Britain's ability to strike back against nuclear attack.
The new weapon is likeiy to be the American Trident long-range missile, or a modiSed version of tt, which may well cost more than f5-bi!Iion. It will replace the present independent deterrent, Polaris, by the 1990s. Earlier this year, the Government agreed to the basing of medium-range American cruise missiles in Britain as part of the NATO defence system. Decisions about our nuclear armoury are made in the greatest secrecy. PoKor<MM<t investigates how the decisions are made, on what evidence and presents the view of those who believe that at a time of public spending cuts Britain can no longer afford a nuclear deterrent, independent of its allies,

starring Gregory Peck Desi Amaz Jr
This tense and unusual Western interweaves an exciting chase story with a study of racial prejudice. Billy, a half-breed, and Deans, an ageing, fellow outlaw, are on the run after a bank robbery. Their pursuer,
Sheris Gisord is motivated not only by political ambition but by hatred of the Indian. His vicious incomprehension at the bond between the two men, counterpoints the action as the outlaws struggle for a freedom impossible in an intolerant society.
