Horizon - man and science today.
Introduced by Christopher Chataway.

Rocketry, electronics, and nuclear bombs have radically changed the outward face of war. Robot missiles automatically seek and destroy their targets while 1,000 m.p.h. strike planes hedge-hop on radar guidance. But behind the battlefield is a huge sub-structure of research, where a computer can solve tactical problems in seconds, or a new weapon destroy military principles overnight.
How far are Britain's defence policies governed by the work of her secret army of scientists on the weapons and techniques of tomorrow?

The Andalusian poetry of Garcia Lorca.
Federico Garcia Lorca, poet and play-wright, was born near Granada in 1898 and was shot by an unknown group of people in July 1936 at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
Though of an educated family himself, Lorca derived much of his inspiration from the lives, customs, and music of peasants and gypsies. Photographed for the most part in Andalusia, this film seeks to re-create Lorca's world through the medium of his poetry.
[Starring] Carlos Douglas as Garcia Lorca
with the voices of Leo McKern, Keith Michell, June Tobin.
A BBC-Bavarian Television production
