Jonathan Dimbleby talks to Sir Archie Lush in the first of two programmes

Archie Lush was 'one of the few' who did not descend to his appointed place, the coal face at Tredegar Colliery; instead, he worked and won a place at the local grammar school. He should have become a steady, responsible white collar worker, but unemployment and a chance street-corner meeting with Aneurin Bevan turned him into a radical organiser.

Reporters: Jeremy James, Jeanne la Chard, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week: Eastern Promise
In the five years since the Beatles made their pilgrims' progress to the Ganges in search of the meaning of life, thousands of their fellow-countrymen, disillusioned by the orthodox Christian churches, have turned to the East seeking spiritual comfort. All over Britain people are meditating; there are long waiting lists for Yoga lessons; and sects whose inspiration comes from Eastern mysticism have mushroomed. Jeanne la Chard looks at three mystic sects in Britain: the Divine Light Mission, who worship a 14-year-old boy God; the Sufis, originally a secret Islamic society; and Krishna Consciousness, whose saffron-robed followers believe that by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra about 2,000 times a day they will achieve enlightenment.

The third of four films based on the works of Oscar Wilde - playwright, wit and raconteur.
Anthony Asquith's distinguished version of Wilde's classic comedy of manners assembled a particularly fine array of acting talent.
