Alan Whicker pursues the Bandits of Sardinia
"Graziano's having a difficult time, at the moment..."
In the Barbagia - least-known mountains of Europe where it is said there is a robbery, a kidnapping, or a murder every day - Alan Whicker follows the course of a bloody vendetta that has claimed ten victims so far... He also discovers how and why simple shepherds suddenly turn bandit-men on the run who only leave the peaks to kidnap and kill.

Release ...into the world of experiment and achievement in the arts.
This week:

By-Line: Ernest Hemingway
On the publication of this new book seven years after his death, Mary Hemingway talks to Irving Wardle in New York about her husband.
"Everybody is always telling me about his past, and a lot of it is fiction.
How did he treat women? He loved them. I don't think he understood them very well.
In the last year he was mentally ill, let's face it. And knew it.
I wouldn't want to publish anything he would not wish to publish."

Judi Dench Stars in "Cabaret"
The young actress who has won awards in the theatre, films, and this year as television's "Best Actress", approaches a new landmark in her career. Next week she opens in the hit American musical Cabaret as Sally Bowles. She is filmed preparing for this new venture.
