Some of the best from one of the best Western film series ever made.

With Blue's help, a representative sent by the President makes a peace treaty with Cochise. The well-meaning peacemaker agrees to all the Indian Chief's demands -which means siege and devastation for the High Chaparral. But Big John is not prepared to give up without a fight...

A duel of words and wit between Frank Muir, Honor Blackman, William Davis and Patrick Campbell, Hannah Gordon, Frank Windsor

Based on the book by Arthur Koestler
Paul Kammerer was the most brilliant and unorthodox biologist of his time. He was also the subject of the greatest scientific scandal of this century. In 1909 the results of Kammerer's experiments with salamanders and midwife toads rocked the scientific establishment.
Immediate scientific opposition began as an academic whispering campaign, grew into bitter controversy, and ended with the accusation of fraud - the worst sin known to scientists. Kammerer committed suicide.
Was he a fraud? If he wasn't, and his ideas are proved to be right, can we, as newspapers suggested, breed a Race of Supermen?
The programme reconstructs Kammerer's career. Scientists discuss the implications for modern man, and Arthur Koestler, who tells the story, offers up some suggestions of his own.
