Living with Uncle Sam
A series of ten films in which Alan Whicker talks to a wide range of enterprising Brits who've gone to live and work in the USA.

Mick Luckhurst is the envy of every American boy. He's kicker for the Atlanta
Falcons and earns over 200,000 dollars a year: 'Here you can't play a good game, and lose.' Clive Wilson, Trevor Richards and Chris Burke are keeping traditional jazz alive in the very spot where it was born, New Orleans. Around the corner is the Useful Shop - a hardware store run by Joan Norris; she has an Oxford degree and once worked at the Cheltenham 'Spy Centre'; her husband left her and their two children penniless: 'There is a charity hospital, so I've somewhere to go... Dr Paul Buisseret passionately defends the American medical system: 'In British hospitals intensive care is the bed next to Sister's desk...!'

In Iran, Baha'is are being imprisoned, tortured and executed. In the rest of the world, three million Baha'is are setting up a computerised structure for an alternative world government.
The Baha'i faith began as a 19th-century offshoot of Islam. Today it's the fastest growing new religion in the world. In the first of a new international series, "Everyman" slips behind the lines of "The Quiet Revolution" to report on the Baha'i mission to establish God's Kingdom on Earth.

A musical biography in six programmes
Presented by Jane Glover
The London Mozart Players, leader John Glickman
Deborah Rees (soprano)
[Starring] Ian Richardson, Robin Bailey

'I could name you a dozen grown-up composers whose symphonies weren't half as good as this.'

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's extraordinary career began at the age of 6, when his violinist father took him on tour around the royal courts of Europe. By the age of 8 he was writing orchestral symphonies; by 18 he was producing works of true genius, like his 29th Symphony (K 201). But the story begins in sleepy, provincial 18th-century Salzburg, where Leopold Mozart was vice-kapellmeister to the ruling Prince Archbishop.
