Five programmes about the changing society of modern France.

The French language and culture have always been regarded as sacred, at least by the French. But with the coming of the joys and horrors of the consumer society they've both begun to take some nasty knocks.

The High Chaparral is the home of a pioneer family in the newly won West.

Far from the High Chaparral, Manolito is mistaken for one of a gang who robbed a gold shipment. He is released from jail when an old friend, Dave Redman, vouches for him. But Manolito's troubles are only just beginning, and he finds out too late that a friend can become a deadly enemy...

This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.

San Francisco is, literally, a city that waits to die. It faces destruction from an earthquake which, scientists warn, could kill 100,000 people. The earthquake is inevitable and imminent, and yet it's claimed that there has been a scandalous neglect in applying already existing knowledge to reduce hazards.

Five thousand children, for example, go to schools sited directly on the actual earthquake faults and in the earthquake predicted those children will be killed.
Tonight's Horizon tells the story of the small group of scientists who, in a struggle against apathy, are trying to save their city. They are also involved in crucial experiments which are already enabling them to predict some earthquakes and which in the near future will enable them to realise the hitherto science-fiction dream of preventing earthquakes.

'Amsterdam,' as the Deputy-Burgomaster justly remarks, 'has a strong undercurrent of anarchy.' This film, made in co-operation with the Dutch-TV company IKOR, looks at the way they are protesting, half humorously, half in real earnest, against moral contradictions and outdated laws.
