Four programmes looking at film versions of famous novels 3: The Thirty-Nine Steps When it comes to tales of patriotic pluck and stiff upper lip, one story stands head and shoulders tall above the rest - John Buchan 's Thirty-Nine
Steps, and there have been three attempts to transfer
Richard Hannay 's exploits to the screen. Christopher Cook investigates the first, starring Robert Donat , but discovers that
Alfred Hitchcock 's film is no more than a distant cousin of Buchan's original thriller.
With soundtrack illustrations and readings from the book by Simon Williams. Producer WENDY CLAY

The Best Little Venue in Town The Leadmill in Sheffield is the most efficient arts centre in Britain, according to the Policy Studies Institute, and 300,000 customers a year seem to agree. But what exactly is 'efficient' for an arts centre? Do the rock concerts sometimes tread on the toes of the dance classics? Paul Allen hears how jazz and theatre, performance art and tuition in circus skills coexist, if not always peacefully, at least with good humour.
