Southern India pretends to know nothing about the North. Its language is different, its very nature too.
In Madras Louis Malle discovers a striking example of that world of opposites to be found in traditional India: thousands cramming the streets at a strange ceremony centuries old, and a family planning clinic; a film studio making folk-lore musicals, and the famous Kalachetra dance school where dancing is itself a language, a prayer, an invocation to God.

On 23 January 1963 Kim Philby fled to Russia. It was the end of the career of the most dangerous spy ever to penetrate British intelligence - for Philby had, during most of the preceding 25 years, occupied senior posts in the British Secret Service. Tonight's film examines the Philby story from his childhood, through his recruitment to the Communist cause as a Cambridge undergraduate, to his final defection - and includes unique film material by Philby's son showing his father's present life in Moscow. With contributions from John Philby, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Miles Copeland
