A personal journey across four continents to see some of the world's great national parks.
A secret world of fish and fishermen... a paradise of morning sunlight and large white birds... a final flourish of the Danube before it reaches the Black Sea. Romania's national park is the last of the true wild reserves in Europe - much of it unexplored, all of it breathtakingly beautiful. Inevitably there are conflicts between the needs of its rich and varied wildlife and the needs of the 20,000 people who live there. Tonight's programme, one of the first English films made in Romania since the war, takes account of the balance that the Delta has achieved.

Paul Rotha, one of the leading figures in the British documentary film movement since the early 30s, was responsible for this succinct analysis of the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler.
From 48 miles of film located in 12 countries, he has compiled a memorable record of the momentous years of Nazi power between 1933 and 1945.
English commentary spoken by Leo Genn and Marius Goring
Twenty-eight years ago today, on 20 July 1944, Hitler narrowly escaped death when an assassin's bomb exploded in his East Prussian headquarters. The so-called 'Generals' Plot' to overthrow the Fuhrer was a total failure.
Who were the men behind the plot? What were the real motives? How should one assess the resistance to Hitler? Line-Up talks to some of those involved with the plot, including Otto John, and to Albert Speer, Hitler's armaments minister.
