Steam on the Move
The success of the canals led to the development of rivals and vanquishers, the railways. The inadequate power of horses led to the use of stationary, then moving, steam engines and to the parallel development of the steam boat.
In the seventh of eight films ANTHONY BURTON visits a stationary steam engine in the Peak District, rides on ' an animated knitting machine', looks for the route of the first successful colliery railway and takes a trip on the oldest working steam boat.

from Frinton-on-Sea
Gently sloping sands, lush greensward, and sun on sparkling sea remind Nick Page of his childhood holidays when he visits Frinton to meet some local inhabitants and ask them about their faith, their work, and their favourite hymns. Among them is Olive Luff who runs the Bible Depot begun by her father Ernest Luff in 1903 - founder also of local Homes for the Elderly. Choirs and congregations from five of Frinton's Churches gather in the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene to sing their summer Songs of Praise.
Lord enthroned (St Helen); Praise to the holiest (Chorus Angelorum); 0 for a thousand tongues (Lyngham): All creatures of our God and King (Lasst uns erfreuen); Have faith in God my heart (Carlisle); Great is thy faithfulness (Faithfulness); To God be the glory (To God be the glory); Lift up your hearts (Woodlands)

Weather
In a remote corner of southern Turkey, deep in the Muslim world near the borders of Syria, Iraq and Iran, there is a tiny Christian church whose traditions stretch back almost to the days of the apostles. The Suryani, or ancient Syrians, have one of the oldest and richest liturgies in Christendom, and they still speak a language close to the Aramaic that Jesus spoke.
Ethem Cetintas is a Turkish Muslim film cameraman who became fascinated by the Suryani. This film is his own portrait of the forgotten Christians: a once-thriving church which now seems to be at a crisis point under the pressures of social change. Commentary spoken by PAUL VAUGHAN
