Ten programmes about Europe's discovery of the outside world.

Drawings were the only record that 16th-century Europeans had of what the North American Indian looked like. How reliable was the evidence of other men's eyes? And how much did the picture change as the Indians became more familiar?

The High Chaparral is the home of a pioneer family in the newly won West; is the prize the settlers must hold against outlaws and Indians; and spells adventure in the wild Arizona territory of 1870.

It's excitement and action in real cowboy and Indian style when notorious gunfighter Johnny Ringo is hired by the Army to track down an Apache who killed a scout and threatens to start a full-scale war.

Pigs in New Guinea, cows in Botswana, pots and pans in the hills of India - all different forms of the same thing, what we would call wedding presents.
The Family of Man takes five different weddings and compares the way that people go about celebrating them in five very different places: Colne, Lancashire; Esher, Surrey; Andheri in the hills of north India; Khegudi in northern Botswana, and Buk in the Western Highlands of New Guinea.
All the weddings have a ritual element, all have some kind of a party attached to them and all - even the white weddings of Esher and Colne - tend to be charged with fertility symbols which nobody really understands. All the weddings also have one other vital thing in common - they all cost big money.

Two women in their 90s describe their life as Victorian teenagers
'We never called ourselves teenagers - but we were certainly Victorians and quite proud to be it,' says Miss Frances E. Jones who in 1892, at the age of 17, trained as one of the first lady shorthand typists, and was hired out by her office at half a crown an hour.
Miss Berta Ruck, the romantic novelist, also trained in London in the 1890s. 'I was very glad I was an art student,' she says, 'for we did do things and see things and go about as well-bred, sheltered girls never did. In those days, the thing to be was decadent...'
