During the summer, children from abroad bring us memories of the countries they call home. They tell us, too, of the customs and the people of the foreign country where they live now - Great Britain.

A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives.
Reporters Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week Plimpton: The Man on the Flying Trapeze
George Plimpton is an amateur of many worlds. He has driven a racing car in the Italian Grand Prix. He has even played a bit-part in a John Wayne movie. George Plimpton is familiar to American viewers for his have-ago-at-anything approach.
Tonight, Man Alive hands over to Plimpton as he joins 'The Flying Apollos,' a trapeze act with a travelling circus. After 10 days' training, George Plimpton, in a packed big top, himself has a go on the flying trapeze.

'There was a time when the river Rhine was a pretty formidable obstacle to invading generals. It once swilled the blood of armies, but now, goodness knows what it swallows for it's turned the colour of a nasty-looking cold consomme.'

Starring Olivia de Havilland
with Mark Stevens, Lee Genn, Celeste Holm

A young woman comes to herself one morning to realise that she is in a mental home but can remember nothing of the five preceding months. The horrors of life in an institution are offset by the efforts of the staff, fighting against frustration and officialdom, to help the unfortunate inmates.
