The first of an occasional series about the arts in the other countries of the Common Market.

Tonight: Germany
What books do the Germans read? Who collects modern art? Which are the most popular TV programmes? How much does a German city spend on the theatre?
These are some of the questions the film answers, in an examination of the role the arts play in contemporary Germany.
The first part contrasts three very different German towns: Bochum in the Ruhr, Tubingen with its ancient university, and the Olympic city of Munich. It includes scenes from a new musical to be seen in London in the 1973 World Theatre Season; excerpts from The Magic Flute at the Bavarian State Opera; and interviews with painters, writers, journalists and students about their work and their interests.
The second part consists of recent examples of arts programmes from the different stations of German television.
What are the differences in attitudes and achievement between Them and Us?
