Ex-navy diver Gunner McNeil has found that girls and deep-sea diving don't mix. So when a beautiful blonde tries to interest him and his partner in a secret job of blowing up an old submerged wreck, he is reluctant to take it on. But before long he is investigating the mystery of the Sea Hornet - a mystery which involves murder and treachery at sea.

Tonight's programme heralds the start of a new International Championship that begins next Saturday and features the highlights of the 1970-71 season, including the historic British Lions triumph in New Zealand, the unbeatable Rugby of Wales as they swept to the Grand Slam and Scotland's emergence as the most likely challengers for the Championship Title.
The stirring acts of those great days are supplemented by the expert views of the men entrusted with the future players' style and strength in the countries which make up the four Home unions.

A series of three programmes about beef, the beef barons and the beef-eaters; and about the people who won't let a mouthful pass their lips at any price.

There is no business more full of ironic contradiction than the raising of cattle. It is at once the most glamorous and the most horrific of all the forms of farming. The cowboy is a folk-hero from Stockholm to Tokyo. The slaughterman is a figure of the shadows, with a social standing about equal to that of the public executioner. The Perfect Beast is about the modern cattleman, in Britain and in the Big Country of the USA. Some deal in a few dozen prize animals, some in hundreds of thousands. No other industry or agricultural enterprise is so wrapped in romance as the cattle business. In 1972, how much of the romance is left?

The first of four programmes with John Berger.
An oil painting was once a unique object; but now with photographic copying it can be seen anywhere - in books or magazines, on postcards or television.
Tonight, writer and critic John Berger suggests that the fact of photography has changed the way we see the art of the past and that a painting's impact depends on the conditions in which it is seen. He also demonstrates how its meaning can be manipulated either by words or music.
