A series of programmes featuring natural history films from other countries. Bite for Survival
This film from Norway won for its director Charles Patey the 'Best Newcomer Award' at the 1984 Wildscreen Festival.
It is a fascinating study of the mosquito. To get the hatching sequence Patey sat with his eye glued to the camera viewfinder and his finger poised on the button for 15 hours, pausing only to sip thin soup through a straw
- when they did hatch it took just 45 seconds. For this bloodsucking sequence he used his own arm. (R) BBC Bristol

[continuing a season of films starring the renowned screen actor. Tonight with Jon Voight
Brenda Vaccaro
Joe Buck is as naive as he is blue-eyed and handsome. When he arrives in a garish New York he is sure that he'll find sex, adventure and money. What the 'cowboy' finds in alien territory is just one friend - Ratso Rizzo. This odd couple strike up one of the most unusual partnerships in screen history.
John Schlesinger 's movie is intermittently sad, funny, brutal and always gripping, and features a memorable performance from Hoffman as the seedy city-dweller.
Screenplay by WALDO SALT Based on the novel by JAMES LEO HERLIHY
