James Wilkinson, science correspondent of the Daily Express says that although the disease is beginning to succumb to the medical war being waged against it, it is hard to mention the word 'cancer' without arousing emotions of fear, horror, despair, even guilt. Michael Dean talks to him, to Professor Sir David Smithers, government adviser on cancer and Head of Radiotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital, and Dr Tom Connors, Head of the Biomedical Pharmacology Department at the Chester Beatty Institute.

Joe is made foreman of the High Chaparral and does the job well. He only makes one mistake -but it turns out to be a very dangerous one indeed.

Alan Garner says 'All Systems Go!'

Alan Garner, the brilliantly successful author of books that dazzle and haunt children-and haunt adults, too - is a man obsessed by violence; in the universe, in the ground, most of all, in himself.

This film was made in Cheshire, the countryside in which Alan Garner was born and where his family has lived for generations. He shows how he came to terms with his own personal violence; and in a series of unusual film sequences attempts to show how violence, once understood, can be put to creative use.
