"I am as free as nature first made man
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the Noble Savage ran."

Since the great European discoveries began five hundred years ago, the primitive peoples of the world have found themselves in collision with the white man. Tonight's documentary tells the romantic and then tragic tale of this collision in South America and Australia with the camera penetrating deep into the jungles of the Amazon and Arnhem land.
With Claude Levi-Strauss, Francis Huxley, David Attenborough and Jean Liedloff

Edited and introduced by John Amis

Dinu Lipatti was, by common consent, one of the greatest pianists of this century. He died so young, just 20 years ago, that his reputation is built almost entirely on his gramophone records which are constant best-sellers. Music Now talks to the man who was his friend, mentor and supervisor of all his records - Walter Legge, husband of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, creator of the Philharmonia Orchestra and former EMI recording boss.

Beethoven: How did that 'admirable deaf-man' (Stravinsky's description) survive his bicentenary year? Music Now takes a rather reverent look at him with Hugh Wood, the composer; and a rather irreverent one with excerpts from Maurizio Kagel's film called hudwig Van.
