Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring
with Michael Frostick
Opening to traffic in the next few weeks is the Autostrada of the Flowers, the missing link in the first European motorway from London to Sicily - the E.1. The new road runs from Menton on the French frontier to join the Italian autostrada system at Savona. It brings Rome within six hours drive of Nice, and with ninety viaducts and sixty tunnels it is a mountain highway running high above the ground for most of its seventy miles.
This is the story of how the Autostrada dei Fiori was built and what it will mean to holiday motorists from Britain.

(Frankie Vaughan is appearing at The Talk of the Town)
No stranger to The Talk of the Town, Frankie Vaughan is making his third appearance at the swinging night spot. Last there in 1967, he is now on a two-month season.
This summer Frankie is doing a season at Bournemouth. Last year he went farther afield - to Majorca and Venice, where he had big successes.

A personal view by Kenneth Clark
'Pope Julius II was not only ambitious for the Catholic Church; he was ambitious for Julius II; and in his new temple he planned to erect the greatest tomb of any ruler since the time of Hadrian... ...some of the figures made for it survive, and they add something new to the European spirit-something that neither antiquity nor the great civilisations of India and China had ever dreamed of.' Three great artists, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci, are the protagonists in this programme, which centres on Papal Rome in the early sixteenth century. Sir Kenneth Clark's theme takes him through the gardens and courtyards of the Vatican to the rooms decorated for the Pope by Raphael, and to the Sistine Chapel.

A series of feature films, reflecting some of the finest work of many of France's most famous and talented directors and artists
starring Jacques Perrin, Macha Meril
Based on prize-winning novelist Georges Conchon's story, this film examines the attitude to the first world war of a young Frenchman and three acquaintances.
Jacques Perrin-viewers will remember his World Cinema performance as the younger brother in The Girl with a Suitcase-plays Antonin, a soldier who is wounded at the Front in 1917. He returns home to convalesce and desperately tries to come to terms with the war and summon up courage to re-enter the fray.
Macha Meril, star of Une Femme Marine, is cast as a widow who comes to stay at his parents' home.
