When the Calypso anchors over the spawning grounds of the Pacific Coast squid, Jacques Cousteau and his divers have a unique opportunity to make a study of the strange breeding behaviour. For three days thousands of squid concentrate in a frenzy of mating which provides some of the most remarkable film of the voyage.

Presented by Robin Ray

Sebastian Forbes was one of the four winners of the recent Radcliffe String Quartet Competition. Music Now looks at some of the influences which have shaped this young composer's work.

This year the Arts Council will spend nearly £4-million on subsidising music throughout the country and still it is not enough. Music Now goes to Bradford, York, and Teeside to see what the authorities there are, or are not, doing to bring music to their towns.

What music did the Pharaohs sing and dance to?
Mrs Maureen Barwise has recently decoded the hieroglyphics surrounding pictures of the musicians of ancient Egypt. She explains her work, and together with Dr Carl Dolmetsch, Maria Kaufmann, and John Truleaux, performs pieces taking us back 5,000 years.

Is East East?
The Ali Brothers from Pakistan display their stunning vocal virtuosity with Alla Rakha, tabla.

Josephine Nendick, in an interview with Robin Ray, demonstrates how East is nearer West these days when she sings examples from Luciano Berio and John Cage. She is accompanied at and on the piano by John Tilbury.
