Lasers have made possible a new recording technique, Holography, which can be used to produce three-dimensional pictures.
Introduced by Professor Oliver Heavens
with John Gates, Anthony Ennos, Colin Reid

Holography, or Wave Front Reconstruction, was invented by Professor Dennis Gabor several years before the laser, but its full exploitation has had to wait for the laser to provide the required intense coherent light. Extraordinary results may be possible with this technique, ranging from highly scientific and industrial application to 3-D television.

The Warden's cattle have been raided by the Scotts of Branxholm, who boast of it openly. Cessford arrests them, and by so doing brings down the wrath of the Lord Lieutenant, the Earl of Moray. It's not just Cessford's wardenship that's at stake now. Moray has plans for bringing peace to the March that are resented by all. One person especially dislikes them - Agnes Ker.

A film series introduced by Bernard Venables

Float fishing for bream on canal waters in Somerset on a late summer's day.
A man sits on the bank, his rod on a rest, waiting. It is a typical scene to give the non-angler the impression that fishing is duIl-or at best tranquil. But to the expert there are clues which make it exciting.

with Julia Lockwood, Garfield Morgan
and Frances Bennett, Petra Davies, Bernard Horsfall, Geoffrey Palmer

At the beginning of the next century the British people take great pride in the fact that they lead the world with their system of Population Control. Based on computer analysis, the population has been stabilised by the use of an anti-fertility factor. However, everyone's complacency is rudely shattered when the wife of a highly esteemed Population Officer becomes pregnant for the second time although she is only licensed for one child. The most important question is: how did she do it?

Weltspiegel, Continents sans Visa A Toda Plana, Estafeta, Realta
These are just some of the television programmes in both West and East Europe which regularly contribute to Europa. The programme has been called a European window on the world. Each week it looks at the stories and issues that have informed, entertained, and sometimes angered viewers across a continent.
It examines their attitudes and prejudices and, in so doing, perhaps recognises some of our own.
Introduced this week by Jack Pizzey
