Elephant Kingdom
Narrated by David Attenborough
The kingdom is Thailand, where the elephant has always been a mighty force. This film examines the relationship between man and beast in war, work and worship, but it concentrates most on work, and on four elephants in particular.

Practical Experience
A comedy by ALAN PLATER
'I'm unusual. I really want to be an architect. Always have done. Always wanted to build fine buildings and fine cities where people can work and eat and sleep and be happy. But the rules of the game say before you can do that you've got to start a firm. Employ people. Turn it into a career. I like architecture. I hate careers. The minute you make it a career you build a ladder and people want to climb it. Sometimes they stand on your fingers. It's hard to draw with flattened fingers. Spoils your draughtsmanship.'
Script editor LOUIS MARKS Designer HUMPHREY JAEGER Producer INNES LLOYD Director BILL HAYS
