Has the universe a purpose? Is there an ultimate meaning to the striving of men? Is the human race something more than the most complex development of animal life? Is death the end? These fundamental issues are focused for all of us, religious or not, by the question of the existence of God.
Magnus Magnusson introduces the major reasons for belief and disbelief; matches the theories of the experts - philosophers, scientists, psychologists - to the experiences of ordinary people; and invites you to give your own answers to the questions the programme raises.

Cape to Cairo
Written and narrated by ROY LEWIS
One hundred years ago, CECIL RHODES dreamed of building a railway across 6,000 miles of Africa. An iron life-line of Empire marking the British claim to dominate the continent from one end to the other.
Now the journey from the Dutch farms of Cape Town to the mosques of Cairo passes the Victoria Falls, the Game Parks of Kenya, over the Karroo Desert and through equatorial Sudan, past the buildings and monuments of a changed Africa.
The dream of Empire faded, but the railway itself has become of vital importance to the new, independent countries of Africa. Although in places diesel is taking over, the great steam locos still dominate many of the lines between Cape Town and Cairo.

Kyung-Wha Chung East Plays West with Myung-Wha Chung Myung-Whun Chung
The young Korean violinist KYUNG-WHA CHUNG achieved overnight success with her London debut in 1970. But the Chung family can boast six musicians among seven children, and five are seen playing in tonight's film. Three are professionals with independent solo careers - KYUNG the violinist, MYUNG the-cellist, and WHUN, both pianist and conductor. Although they come from the East, the music they play is exclusively Western. This film shows them in rehearsal and performance both in Europe and the USA.
Last summer, Kyung took part in the ' Great Performers ' series in New York, then with her sister played Brahms's Double Concerto With the NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN, and later, with brother Whun, went to Switzerland and Belgium for concerts at the Lucerne and Flanders Festivals.

The last of four programmes A Bus for all Reasons
Introduced by Rene Cutforth
Seven young men and women run the ISLINGTON BUS COMPANY. They have only one bus - an unusual vehicle, painted blue and equipped with a sandpit, toys and a tank for water play. It is a moblle playgroup.
During the summer holidays children's entertainment is almost a full-time occupation for the Islington Bus Company - their name for a community resources centre. Puppet shows on the bus, outings to Epping Forest and an ambitious project recorded on videotape which is called the ' Rocky Horror Show' and in which scores of children from North London housing estates take part.
RENÉ CUTFORTH says, It's not only a good thing the seven enthusiasts of the Islington Bus Company are young - it's essential. You have to be to stand the wear and tear.'
