A series of highly personal films

Norman Parkinson, the distinguished fashion photographer, focuses his expert eyes on Women
with Vanessa Redgrave, Twiggy, Raquel Welch, Marisa Mell, Celia Hammond, Kay Thompson

"As a species women are much more important than men"
"The best photographers are the bigger liars"
"I take a woman and gild her a little until she shines"
- some of the things Parkinson has to say about his craft. Which indicate that if the camera cannot lie, the cameraman certainly can - if he's good enough.

The World Through European Eyes
Fifty million people watch it in Britain; 300 million watch it in the rest of Europe. Today television's antennae grope across large areas of Europe's skyline from the Shannon to the Volga. The television screen can unite millions of viewers, but equally it can divide them. There are differences of kind and of degree, of quantity and of quality, of emphasis and of interpretation. Each week Europa highlights some of these aspects by presenting the stories and issues that have interested some of the millions of television viewers across a continent.
