7: Spartacus" was a film with an extraordinary rich mixture, as full of intrigue as a Balkan government in the good old days. Kirk Douglas was the producer as well as the leader of the slave uprising in ancient Rome. Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton , Tony Curtis , Jean Simmons and myself discovered that none of our scripts were the same. Since Olivier had arrived a week before the majority of us, he had already inspired yet another version of the script in which his role had somewhat grown in importance.

In 1945, more than two million Soviet and former Russian citizens were forcibly repatriated to the USSR by the British and American authorities. Some had served the Germans because of their hatred of Stalin and his government. In this programme, based on his book of the same name, Nicholas Bethell tells the story of one such group of Cossacks who were driven out of Austria at bayonet point back to Russian labour camps or firing squads.
