The Rocket Pilots
Nineteen years before the space shuttle returned to earth after its successful mission, the million horsepower X-15 regularly flew into space and home again. The records shattered by planes and pilots were of key importance in developing the shuttle technology. This NBC documentary uses remarkable original film of the test flights. From the men themselves we learn of the danger and frustrations and the rivalry between US Airforce captain Chuck Yeager and civilian pilot Scott Crossfield.

The fourth in the occasional series of Robinson's Travels.

Having survived the Mormon Trail and the journey from Calcutta to Simla, Robert Robinson sets out on a very different voyage - a Mediterranean cruise.

'It's early morning,' runs the advertisement, 'you're cruising on the Canberra. A big white ship that graces the horizon wherever she goes. A big white ship that makes you feel excited just to look at her. And the decisions that face you now are part of that excitement. What shall I do today? Shall I go for a swim before breakfast? Shall I go to "keep fit" class or shall I play bridge? Shall I have coffee in the Meridian Room or by the Bonito Pool?'
