Noel Buys a Suit
Noel has looked after the house since his mother died and everything was just fine until his father decided to remarry. Noel isn't at all sure about his new stepmother and even less sure about wearing a new suit for the wedding. Produced by KIT HOOD and LINDA SCHUYLER (R)
with Simon Groom and Janet Ellis
It was Christmas Eve 1974 and, in the northern Australian city of Darwin, people were celebrating the start of the holiday. Many didn't hear the radio warnings - a fearsome cyclone with 175 mph winds was heading straight for them. Eleven years later Janet reports from Darwin, meets some of the survivors and discovers how the city - which was totally destroyed - has been rebuilt.

Time for another visit live to the Television Theatre set amid the bucolic boskiness of Shepherd's Bush Green, ablaze with colour and vivacity. The sidewalk cafes with their gay striped awnings, the young people in pink and blue and purple - and that's only the hair.
Flamingoes strut over the green. Parakeets and cockatoos swoop in the trees.

A Triple Heritage written and presented by ALI A. MAZRUI Global Africa
The last programme in the series looks at Africa's changing relationships with the outside world. Where the French once built churches in Africa, All Mazrui now finds Africans erecting mosques in France. Where African views once went unheard, now some 50 African countries are represented at the United
Nations. 'The global order is being revised,' says Mazrui, 'and the mighty don't like it in the least.'
In North America Mazrui explores the position of 'the other Africans', the 30 million black Americans whose forebears arrived as slaves, and discusses their potential as a black lobby for Africa.
He sees the coming of another power group, a black-governed South Africa, backed by all that country's mineral might.... and maybe nuclear muscle as well. Film editor JEFF SHAW
