The High Chaparral ...is the bid of a family seeking roots in the newly won West
...is the threat to the new settlers from Mexicans and Indians
...and spells adventure in the Arizona territory of 1870

Against the best of advice and his own better judgment Blue determines to rescue a white girl from the Apaches. The danger of his lone mission is inescapable, but bravery and chivalry are hard to separate.

Cancer is probably one of the most frightening words in the medical vocabulary. It is a disease that has been known for a very long time; there are records of cancer in ancient Egypt long before the birth of Christ.
Nowadays we know the causes of some cancers and we can usually prevent them from arising. Other cancers can be discovered at an early stage and can be treated by surgery or other means.
Taking part in the programme are the Consultant Physician, a Research Pathologist, and a General Practitioner.

Bernard Braden reads from the works of Stephen Leacock

Stephen Leacock, although he lived most of his life in Canada and was for many years Professor of Political Economy at McGill University, Montreal, was born 100 years ago in the South of England. To celebrate the centenary of the birth of one of the world's greatest humorists, Bernard Braden assumes Leacock's role of lecturer and takes a look at the lighter side of life as Leacock saw it.

On the occasion of National Library Week, BBC outside broadcast cameras pay a visit to the world's most comprehensive Library at The British Museum.

Among the priceless manuscripts that viewers will be shown are the Lindisfarne Gospels, Lewis Carroll's Alice with his original drawings, Captain Scott's last diary, Handel's Messiah score with the composer's corrections, The Canterbury Tales printed by Caxton, and a rare first edition of Robinson Crusoe.
