A series of five films about the historical evidence provided by the cinema newsreel.
3: Something has to be Done
During the last few months of the war, the newsreels reflect a general attitude of grim satisfaction at the total defeat of the Germans. How soon after May 1945 did this begin to change, and why?

A series of three film reports by Trevor Philpott
2: The Fisherman
Any real fisherman will cheerfully confess he is mad. His fishing will come before his home, his wife, his job, even his health. He'll sit through gale and rain, through the nights as well as through the days, often angling for fish that he knows will be far too small and far too muddy ever to be fit for eating.
Yet two-and-a-half million Britons go fishing, far more than take part in any other sport. Some pay £1,000 a season for a trout stream, some bet hundreds of pounds on their chances of winning a big competition. Can they all really be mad? The File on The Fisherman tries to find out.
