A Girl Named
Devika Devika Rajbans - India
Devika is a 20-year-old design student in Bombay. She's talented, ambitious and beautiful-born and bred in an India free from foreign rule and increasingly free from repressive social customs. Her family are not well-off and Devika is tempted by the possibility of marriage into the Westernised elite. But she wants to maintain contact with the traditional values of Indian village life. Our story follows her attempts to resolve this dilemma, which sometimes leads her into conflict with authority.
Film cameraman AMBEY Film editor DICK PULL

Ravel's command of orchestral texture and colouring was superb. Yet he once described the whole orchestra except for the string section as ' merely the salt and pepper you add to the cooking.' He used to compose with the piano, and much of his orchestral music was first published for piano.
In this programme we hear:
Lever du jour (Daphnis et ChlotS) Asie (Shehirazade)
Alborado del gracioso - first as written for the piano and then in the orchestral version
Piano Concerto for left hand

A new comedy film series recreating the successful feature film, starring
Alan Alda as Hawkeye Wayne Rogers as Trapper John
- two young surgeons who work in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and are intensely dedicated - to off-duty relaxation. The Incubator
What ails you? Germs mostly. So what's the good of being a doctor if you've nothing to grow germs in? Hawkeye and Trapper are determined to battle all the way up to the top brass to get an incubator for their unit. It is an unrewarding-not to say slightly uneven - struggle against Army red tape. After all bureaucracy grinds on. But, germs or no germs, when all else fails there is always the power of the Press.
