Sea and Ships in which Alan Villiers introduces Coasters

The M.V. Pacific Coast is one of nearly nine hundred British coasters, four hundred of which are probably at sea at this moment. She is a 1,700-ton liner coaster, running to a definite schedule.

This afternoon's programme follows her to sea, sailing by night from London Docks, down London River, past the South Goodwins Lightship, and down Channel. She sails on across the great trade routes, past Land's End to Queenstown and Cork, and finally to Liverpool, the home of many of her crew and of her master, Captain Joe Beckett, O.B.E.

A series in which scientists show what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Are experiments on live animals necessary for the advancement of science and medicine? Has the animal a point of view? Is the experience of pain the same in all living things? Scientists and doctors show some of the problems on this controversial frontier between science and ethics.

[Starring] Ralph Meeker

The faraway look in the eyes of Tip Ransom (Ralph Meeker) shows that he is dreaming of freedom, of going 'over the Blue Wall' as his fellow prisoners put it. Tip knows that no one has succeeded yet in escaping from Graymoor prison, that the odds are all against him - but Tip is a desperate man.
