Further coverage from both of today's matches

First shown early in 1972, this series shows four situations in which people try to communicate.

A modern electronics factory in Dorset. A nice place to work, with intelligent, sympathetic people in management and the unions. But in two days the system virtually breaks down, with the factory on the brink of a strike when a seemingly well-meant management productivity scheme is seen as a threat to men's jobs. An accidental leak and the sudden arrival of management consultants, forces management and unions to take up their positions. The programme follows both sides, their strategy, thinking, and goals.
A BBCtv/KCETtv co-production

Starring Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson

Ben Harris, a disgruntled New York postman, determines to take his revenge on society by kidnapping a pretty girl. But his plan misfires when his victim turns out to be Gloria Fiske, suburban housewife.

Six programmes on the civilisations of Turkey
Written and introduced by John Julius Norwich

This week's programme is a portrait of two remarkable races, the Armenians and the Seljuks.

The Armenians, a Christian nation on the eastern borders of the Byzantine Empire, developed a brilliant tradition of architecture and sculpture, which can still be seen at Ani, a ruined city on the Russian frontier, and in the perfect island-cathedral of Akhtamar.

Lord Norwich shows evidence that the Seljuk Turks, by contrast, were Islamic nomads from central Asia, who soon learnt to build elegant bridges, caravanserais, mosques, and a chain of breath-taking castles along the shore of the Mediterranean.
