The intimate appeal of tavernas and small hotels of tiny islands and quaint fishing villages, sums up the success of Greece. But to cater for mass tourism Greece is now opening up new holidays areas. Are these areas being developed along the right lines? John Carter reports from Halkidiki.

Of all 'special interest' holidays, ski-ing has been consistently popular, although these are signs that the number of winter sport enthusiasts has reached its peak. From Verbier in Switzerland, Tom Savage reports on a resort for experienced skiers.

In the studio, the latest news on holiday developments.

Starring James Stewart, June Allyson

When a single-engined aircraft crashed somewhere in the English Channel in December 1944, one of the lives lost was that of Glenn Miller, bandleader extraordinary. In this film biography, James Stewart achieves a remarkable likeness to Miller, capturing his modesty and his acutely professional musicianship.

Many of his greatest hits are featured, including 'Moonlight Serenade', 'In the Mood' and 'Little Brown Jug'.
