In 1970 adventurer
John Ridgway set out to explore one of the world's most dangerous rivers, the Apurimac in Peru. His pilot was Elvin Berg , a young Norwegian whose skill saved John Ridgway 's life on several occasions. Some years later, John Ridgway heard that his friend had disappeared and he went back to look for him.
He was too late. Elvin had been murdered by Maoist guerrillas, his wife had gone mad, and his 6-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was an orphan without hope in a tiny jungle village.
Anne Brown tells how John and Marie-Christine Ridgway set out to adopt Elizabeth and how they managed to help her adapt from her savage-like existence in Peru to the gentleness of their remote Scottish home. Producer JOCK GALLAGHER BBC Pebble Mill

by Jane Austen, dramatised in three parts by Michelene Wandor.
With Juliet Stevenson as Anne Elliot, Tim Brierley as Captain Wentworth and Sorcha Cusack as Jane Austen.

It is 1814 in the village of Uppercross in Somersetshire and Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall has long since given up any hope of his daughter making a favourable marriage. But Anne did fall in love, eight years ago, with Frederick Wentworth, a young man with no fortune and no family connections. She was persuaded to give him up and he has not forgiven her.
