1: The Chrysanthemum People
Most people think of Japan as an urban, industrial country, whose economic success has made her one of the richest nations in the world. In many important ways, however, life in Japan is still an extension of life in a Japanese village - villages like Kurotsuchi, a prosperous farming community which still retains characteristics of traditional Japanese society.

continues the season of British films from the 40s and 50s. Starring Bonar Colleano , Susan Shaw
Brilliantly used London locations give this thriller about a robbery which leads to murder an added excitement and authenticity. In addition to the central story of a small-time customs dodger who gets involved in bigger crime, the film tackles the theme of racial intolerance. Romance, a daring robbery and a portrait of post-war London are all interwoven with the racial theme which proved way ahead of its time.
Screenplay by JACK WHITTINGHAM and JOHN ELDRIDGE Produced by MICHAEL BALCON Directed by BASIL DEARDEN

The Auca Indians in Ecuador were once regarded as the most ferocious Amazon tribe. Twenty-five years ago, five American missionaries embarked on an attempt to convert the tribe. They were speared to death. But two years later two missionary women succeeded in reaching the tribe and today most are Christians. This Everyman report, filmed in some of the most remote parts of the Amazon jungle, examines the impact the missionaries have had on the tribe. Has Christianity helped them-or does it threaten their identity?

Bombardment from Space
What are the chances of the Earth being hit by an asteroid - another and much smaller world orbiting the Sun? Just over 40 years ago the Earth was nearly in collision with an asteroid called Hermes. Statistically the danger of a collision is slight, but by no means nil. In America the NASA authorities have announced plans for destroying any approaching asteroid with a nuclear missile. Can we predict the possibility of a collision? In this programme Patrick Moore discusses the whole question of asteroid collisions with Dr David Hughes of Sheffield University.
