Tales of the Twenties
Mr Jack Hollins is a self-made millionaire at odds with values and life in the 1920s. His daughter Minnie strives to be an emancipated woman. She is an art student and a socialist, and longs for her own life away from home. Her father refuses to let her go and when she eventually escapes by marrying, Jack Hollins, through his money, still controls her life. But the world is changing and it is beyond Mr. Hollins's control. He finds himself no longer master of his fate.

A look at the world through European eyes
In the past few weeks the world has applauded the brave and united stand that the Czechs have made in the face of Soviet occupation. The Slovaks have not enjoyed so much popular recognition and, indeed, for decades they have felt themselves to be the 'poor relations.' But this week they hope to gain cultural and political autonomy in a federal system of government. Elsewhere ethnic minorities get a rougher deal. The Kurds have for eight years fought a desperate battle to gain equality in Arab dominated Iraq. Tonight Europa looks at these two very different countries and examines their prospects.
Introduced this week by Olivier Todd
They are still out in Arizona, but now it's the film companies who take them there - together with the equipment, the props, the people, and the horses to turn out a fifty-minute television Western in five days. But even with air-conditioned dressing rooms, gallons of iced drinks and the comfort of a luxury hotel at night, life in the desert with the thermometer at around 115 degrees is not so easy - the rattlesnakes and the poisonous cacti have scant respect for star actors.
The High Chaparral series, which returns to BBC-2 next week, is filmed almost entirely on location in and around Tucson Arizona. For a few hectic days last summer a BBC crew joined the production unit to film it in action and to talk to some of the people involved.
Among those appearing: Linda Cristal, Leif Erickson, Cameron Mitchell, Henry Darrow, Mark Slade and producer, William Claxton
