A See-Saw programme

P. J. Kavanagh in Olney
P. J. Kavanagh visits the Buckinghamshire village of Olney, where the melancholy 18th-century poet WILLIAM COWPER wrote the comic poem John Gilpin in one sleepless night and in bouts of intense depression composed a body of some of the most beautiful nature poetry in the language.
Director DAVID HEYCOCK

There are only two known types of fixed wing vertical take-off aircraft in the world in service. The first was the British-designed Harrier, followed by the Soviet Union's seaborne Yakalov 36 (NATO code name 'Forger').
This film traces the rise and fall of Britain's 'Jump Jet' from first principles to the present day.

The show you've been praying for, writing in for-well, Kenny has. It's the best of Kenny Everett , 1983. Remember 1983? The year in which Queen Victoria celebrated her Jubilee and Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first controlled flight of a heavier-than-air machine. (Some mistake here surely? EDITOR).

Another chance to see this four-part adaptation of Nevil Shute's classic novel - a tender love story which unfolds against the backgrounds of Japanese-occupied Malaya, the cold winters of blitzed England and the faded, flyblown outback of Australia. Starring

Jean Paget, an attractive carefree girl, is taken prisoner by the Japanese shortly before the fall of Singapore. While the men are taken off to a prison camp Jean, together with other English women and children, is forced to walk across the length and breadth of Malaya with very little food and no medical supplies. Into this living hell comes a benefactor in the shape of a good-natured, handsome Australian - Joe Harman.
'A Town Like Alice' is not only a good yarn: it is a memorable love story ...compelling TV (DAILY EXPRESS)
This romance has polish and class. The photography is excellent, the stars are handsome, the emotion tugs effectively without cheating or repelling, and Jean's integrity is hypnotic. (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
