Starring Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell
with Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison, Emlyn Williams

An idealistic young doctor struggles against squalor and bad living conditions in a small Welsh mining village but finds that his greatest enemy is the ignorance of those he is trying to help. Disillusioned, he moves to London where, as a smart society doctor treating trivial complaints, he is more appreciated by his wealthy patients, but nearly ruins his marriage.

Introduced by Jeffery Boswall
The mild southern climate of the Channel Islands, which brings on the early produce for export and the influx of tourists, also means a fauna and flora different from Britain's. Rare wild orchids, moths like the Jersey Tiger, unusual plovers and warblers, and the coveted ormer - a giant limpet - are among the specialities.
The islands too are a special home for myriads of seabirds, and boast one of the newest gannetries in Europe and the largest stormy petrel assembly in the world.

A topical weekly programme that looks critically at the health industry.

This edition includes:
A Chilly Reception
Appointment systems which get booked up days ahead, and receptionists who try to do the doctor's job for him, make it increasingly difficult for patients to see their GP. They may help the doctor but do such systems frustrate medical care?

The latest series of film reports by Trevor Philpott

Golf is the Sport of Our Time. Golf courses are bursting at the greens; club membership is a precious possession. From Tokyo to Glasgow everybody wants to play - dustmen and dockers as well as brokers and bankers. The golf course has become the testing-ground where problems of daily life can be worked out of the system, and it is fast becoming a facility as vital to a community as a hospital or a sewage works. People long to retire so that they can give all their time and energy to golf.
The File on The Golfer covers the course from suburban links in Britain to entire communities created in the Arizona desert so that the townspeople can play golf all day, every day, all the year round.
