A series of six programmes on our present knowledge of the brain and its activities
If we look at our own behaviour we soon realise that we do not always react in the same way to the same stimulus. One of the reasons for this change is that we remember. In fact there are three fairly-well-defined types of memory. The way our short-term memory is converted into something we can remember for a lifetime and how we store this memory are two of the most pressing problems of brain research.

A poem in prose by August Strindberg
Alan Badel reads the ' occult diary' newly translated from the French and the Swedish by Mary Sandbach
BBC Midland Light Orchestra
The diary arranged for broadcasting and produced by H. B. Fortuin In 1894, living in Paris, Strindberg, then forty-five years old and estranged from his second wife and separated from his little daughter, turned away from writing to make gold and to black magic. Believing himself persecuted by secret enemies with electric devices, he fled to Sweden and Austria to rid himself of his demons. His confessions, written four years later, recount and analyse his sojourn in hell, his striving after the grace propounded by his eighteenth-century compatriot Swedenborg. his Quest for the light of faith, hope, and love. They show the mind of a genius on the borderline of sanity.

Anxiety about concern by KENNETH COUNTER
'To want to know that your temperature is normal Is itself normal; to be preoccupied with the process of taking it, however, is neurotic.' Many American intellectuals, says Mr. Counter, are obsessed with analysing the problems of their society but do not give sufficient thought to ways of solving them.
