Six films of his jaunt in the sun last August.

It's Sunday, the day when you enjoy yourself... and the Mexicans are real professionals when it comes to enjoying themselves...
from the South and West

In the fourteenth century the Aztecs settled on two mud-banks in the centre of a huge mountain lake. They practised land reclamation by floating rafts of wattles, mud, and reeds, the roots of which anchored the rafts to the lake-bed. Over the centuries the whole area took root, and it is now Mexico City.
All that remains of the lake is a group of 'canals' on which grows a beautiful green leafy moss. They are called the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco and, together with Chapultepec Park in the centre of the city, they are among the Mexicans' favourite Sunday resorts.

A series of highly personal films.

Sir Gerald Nabarro, M.P. gives Four Cheers for Britain
The Member of Parliament for South Worcestershire, who has been described by others as 'the most famous back-bencher on either side of the House' and by himself as 'an unashamed traditionalist,' embarks on a vigorous and idiosyncratic exploration of the contemporary British scene, in search of the kind of excellence that he particularly admires.
The musical accompaniment is principally provided by Sir Edward Elgar.
