The last of four films looking at ideas of beauty in different societies.
South Seas: Beautiful Bright Flower
'Aitutaki, Aitutaki,
Beautiful bright flower,
The place where we were born:
Your beauty shines from the sun, the stars and the moon,
With the beauty of our song, like the grace of our dancing
We bring our love to this land.'
Thus Enni and Titia welcome us to their island, and give us the Polynesian view of beauty. Director SUE PUGH
The Life and Death of the 'Scharnhorst' with Ludovic Kennedy Forty-one years ago, on Boxing Day 1943, the most successful warship in the German Navy was sunk, off the North Cape of Norway, by the guns and torpedoes of the British Fleet. So ended a career during which the German battleship had sunk an aircraft carrier, an armed merchant cruiser, two destroyers and well over 100,000 tons of merchant shipping.
Ludovic Kennedy (whose father commanded HMS
Rawalpindi, the first ship sunk by the Scharnhorst) tells the story of the battleship's four years of war. The programme includes remarkable action film and participants in both navies.
The film is super (SUNDAY TIMES)

The programme which asks you, the viewer, to turn crime fighter.
Serious recent crimes are dramatically reconstructed - the police show the evidence to date, and you could provide the clues they need. Just seven weeks ago Sgt John Speed was gunned down in a busy Leeds street during the rush hour - the police need your help.
Forensic experts also need your help in identifying a mystery woman; and there's a visit to a 'red light' district in Birmingham where a sex killer is on the loose.
Nick Ross and Sue Cook will be waiting for your calls in the Crimewatch studio. Police officers David Hatcher and Helen Phelps report on the latest crime news from the Incident
Desk. If you can help, call the Crimewatch number:
