Mesopotamia 1917: a small group of British cavalrymen are lost in the desert, following the death of their one remaining officer.

Immortalised in the Guinness Book of Records, a converted cowshed in the wilds of Scotland has, for the past 20 years, housed 'The Smallest Theatre in Great Britain'. Husband and wife Barrie and Marianne Hesketh have been the sole directors, designers and cast for every production, including their famous two-hander version of The Tempest.
Sadly this year Marianne died, and by way of a tribute Arena revisits the tiny theatre where for so long it seemed that no production was impossible 'although Ben Hur might be difficult' said Barrie Hesketh , 'because of the horses'.

Leonard Matlovich was a Vietnam veteran, with an impeccable 12-year military record - until he declared his homosexuality. This, the US Air Force maintained, meant instant discharge on the alleged grounds that a gay serviceman might impair 'discipline, morale and security'. Sgt Matlovich decided to fight the judgment and face a court martial rather than accept the antiquated ruling.
This powerful television film depicts the true story of his fight against the authorities.
