Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

The Rally of 1,000 Lakes ended last Sunday in Finland, a country which produces some of the best rally drivers in the world. What explains the success of rally winners like Aaltonen and Makinen? Why are the forests and lakes of Finland an outstanding proving ground for competitors and cars?
Stuart Turner, the competition manager who first paired Finnish drivers with English navigators in the world-beating B.M.C. Mini-Cooper team, looks at some of the answers along the 1,000-mile route of this international rally which the Finns have made their own.

A series of highly personal films.

Gerald Scarfe says "I think I see violence all around me."
The sheer ferocity of a Scarfe cartoon, stripping his subjects of any human dignity and reducing them to a kind of sub-animal level, provokes a violent reaction in many people.
"I expected to find myself working with a suppurating sore," said one of the animators on this film, "but he's not like that at all..." Even his victims, when they meet the artist face to face, are often surprised to find themselves in the presence of such a mild, gentle sort of person.
In this disturbing, at times horrifying film, Gerald Scarfe may not solve the riddle of his own conflicting nature but he certainly casts a blinding light on it.
