Five programmes about the changing society of modern France
For 50 years the French population stagnated. Then came the post-war baby boom. When the products of this population explosion arrived at the conservative overcrowded universities there was another sort of explosion. The educational crisis is still unsolved.

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.
Big John saves the life of a half-Indian boy, Wind, who has been caught red-handed rustling cattle by a group of other ranchers. As the High Chaparral prepares for a vast cattle drive a ruthless enemy strikes - and the boy repays his debt.
A duel of words and wit between Frank Muir, Drusilla Beyfus, Robin Ray and Geoffrey Wheeler, Barbara Blake, Jonathan Cecil

This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.
Ever since the first landships arrived at the front line in 1916, disguised as water cisterns or 'tanks,' they have played a dominant part in land warfare.
In their 50-year history from tin-pot adolescence to computerised old age, tanks have demonstrated how military thinking often lags a whole generation behind technology. It took 20 years for the Army to become convinced that tanks had outmoded the cavalry and another 20 to get its design priorities straight.
With film never before seen on television, tonight's Horizon follows this 50-year history up to the present-a present in which the British Army may have an obsolete weapon on its hands without realising it.
