A documentary serial in eight parts. 8: 'It never rains ... '
It's Heddington's Old Tyme Fair. It will raise £1,000 if the weather holds. There's widespread concern about the church and the organ - and the roof timbers are far worse than was thought. Heddington's 11-year-olds leave the village on their first step into the outside world - the comprehensive school in Calne. And in The Ivy, they celebrate the Harvest Festival. Finally, the year comes full circle as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs goes into rehearsal - with the village writing in the camera crew as the Dwarfs. Directed and narrated by DAVID PRITCHARD

Introduced by Robert Robinson
Patricia Highsmith is an American writer of crime stories, best known for her first novel Strangers on a Train written in 1950 and made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock. In an interview filmed at her house in France, she talks about her beginnings as a writer, her fondness for Tom Ripley-the amoral psychopath hero of three of her books - and the kind of criminal temperament that has prompted such novels as Deep Water and The Glass Cell. Plus a selection from Love Letters-a personal anthology by ANTONIA FRASER.

Weather

A series of four programmes
A distant ancestor of the David family used to work in the local brick works and to this day the family is known as the 'Bricks' to distinguish them from all the other Davids in Taibach, Port Talbot. Since then members of the family have composed hymns, filled chapels and worked out their lives in brick works, steel works and coal mines. It is families like the Davids who are the bricks with which Port Talbot was built.
