Gordon Wilkins takes a new holiday route to the sun

with Judith Jackson

Motoring holidays in Greece come a day closer with the introduction of a new car ferry across the Adriatic. A thirty-six hour voyage on the Heleanna, a converted oil tanker with space for 600 cars, takes holidaymakers from Ancona and the autostradas of Italy to Patras at the start of the newest motorway in Greece. This new sea route to the sun saves motorists from Britain 1,000 miles of driving. But are the fares too expensive? Is it still cheaper to drive on to Brindisi and take the old short sea route or go all the way to Athens by road through Yugoslavia?

Silbury Hill stands beside the A4 near Avebury and is the largest prehistoric mound in Europe. A massive pile of chalk rubble, it rises 130 feet from a base as big as Trafalgar Square. Its purpose is still a mystery. Tomorrow a team of archaeologists and miners return to Silbury for the third and final phase of an excavation commissioned by BBC-2.
This film reports on the progress of the dig so far and explains why the archaeologists feel they are on the brink of a discovery

This week including:
Maria Callas as 'Medea'
Maria Callas is making her debut in films. She's playing Medea, a part she has already made her own in the opera house, and she's playing it straight, without music. Pier Paolo Pasolini, who made Theorem and The Gospel According to St. Matthew, directs. Filming is now in progress among the strange, twisted rocks of central Turkey, and it was there that Release filmed Medea in the making and that Maria Callas spoke about this new and challenging step in her career.

by its creator, Clough Williams-Ellis

An Italianate village planted on the coast of North Wales, colourful and extravagant - an experiment in town planning, or one man's romantic folly?
Clough Williams-Ellis, architect, writer, and conservationist, is now eighty-six. "I wanted to show that you could in fact develop even a very beautiful place without defiling it - that you could even enhance what God had given you as a site to start with. And at Portmeirion I felt He'd given me everything possible."

Starring Flora Robson, David Kossoff

A young girl deserted by her mother and a teenage gang leader find a simple way of introducing colour into their drab lives.
Philip Leacock, who achieved international recognition for his film The Kidnappers, shows in Innocent Sinners that drama can be found in the simplest human relationships. His handling of the three children is masterly.
