Three plays by Don Shaw
with Frances Cuka as Val Gray, Joe Melia as Reg Gray and Clive Francis as Dave

Val is in her mid-thirties and a victim of the loneliness of suburbia. She is still reasonably attractive but her youth is seeping away. Her marriage to Reg has reached stalemate and when she meets a young aspiring pop singer she sees an opportunity of recapturing a little of her past when she used to sing around the Midland clubs. But it is not to work out that way.

Horizon - Man and Science today

A lecture with demonstrations by Professor Nicholas Kurti, F.R.S. from the Royal Institution, London.

Nicholas Kurti, Professor of Physics at the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, specialises in the field of low temperature science. He is acknowledged among his friends as an expert in the kitchen. It is the ingredient of this additional accomplishment plus his scientific knowledge which he blends together and serves up for our consideration. The programme is a recording of another discourse from the Royal Institution which took place on Friday, March 14, 1969, before an audience of members and their guests.
