"I would like to be left alone with a beautiful goblet and just really anything I wanted to do. Some commissions are great - some would turn your hair blue. People want some mad things on glass."
Colin Terris is a copper-wheel engraver at a glassworks in Wick, Caithness. He and his colleagues show how fine hand-made glass can be embellished with designs that are cut to a thousandth part of an inch.
The people, the stories, and the action behind the one commodity no one can do without - money. Together with the Money-Minder - a regular feature with up-to-the-minute news on the Stock Market.
Ian Niall, writer and angler incorrigible, fishes a deserted upland landscape. It is a place where memory feeds legend and where the native people themselves have become intruders in a new wilderness - and all within 50 miles of millions who couldn't care less.
says Selma James, in this series of films about seven remarkable individuals who believe that in the 1970s they can achieve something that really matters to them.
Selma James is a typist. She's been a factory worker, a housewife and a working mother. Twenty years ago when she was living in America she became convinced that Western society regards women as inferior beings, to be exploited as cheap labour in homes, factories and offices.
Today Selma James is one of the most articulate leaders of the growing Women's Liberation Movement in Britain. What matters to her is that the 1970's will produce a revolution in woman's lot - a revolution, she believes, that only women themselves can bring about.

The first of three films directed by Alain Resnais
Starring Emmanuele Riva, Eiji Okada
Alain Resnais, like Orson Welles in Citizen Kane, imperceptibly merges past and present in this modern love story set against a background of bomb-scarred Hiroshima. A Frenchwoman, haunted by a tragic wartime love affair with a German soldier, finds love and death almost synonymous and is afraid to commit herself to life with the Japanese architect she now loves.
