In the second programme of the series Sir John Betjeman concentrates on the grandiose public buildings of Melbourne with its fine Houses of Parliament and Botanic Gardens, and of Sydney with its early Victorian Barracks and impressive ANZAC memorial. But behind and beyond, there is always the other Australia, 'alarming and enormous, a crackling golden landscape.'

A documentary series of six stories in which advisers set out to solve other people's problems.

Four strong candidates fought the Dundee by-election in March. The Conservatives, the Socialists, the Liberals and the Scottish Nationalists all had high hopes that their man would take his seat at Westminster.
The Conservative candidate was Lord Provost Fitzgerald. His chief adviser in the run-up to polling day was a young political scientist called John Berridge. This film is the story of the Conservatives' campaign - of the evolving election strategy that was finally put to the test at the poll.

Professor Christiaan Barnard argues that: Heart Transplants should be resumed

Professor Barnard is one of only two surgeons in the world who have continued to perform heart transplants since the first great wave of 1968 died away in an atmosphere of failure and recrimination; the other is Dr Norman Shumway in the USA.
In Britain the Department of Health recently advised surgeons not to do heart transplants until the results are better. Professor Barnard believes this policy is wrong. He argues his case in the theatre of the Royal Institution, London, with Mr Leon Abrams, cardio-thoracic surgeon, Dr James Mowbray, immunologist, Dr Celia Oakley, cardiologist Shirley Williams, MP and an invited audience
