The Vision of the Blind
Blindness is not the handicap we usually imagine it to be.
At a school in Warwickshire, blind children play football.
Horizon brings together the elements of a completely new approach to blindness, much of which comes from the ideas of the blind themselves.
The last of four programmes The Heart of England
' A regional dish is a whole countryside.'
Beef, from white-faced Hereford cattle, and draught beer from Worcestershire hops, should strike right to the heart of every true Englishman. But do they? Are they the same as they used to be? Derek Cooper samples some classic foods in the most English of counties - Hereford and Worcester - and on the way tries Evesham asparagus, Worcester sauce and the strange, boneless and increasingly rare river lampern.

The second of three Omnibus films about the transatlantic take-over of our popular song and dance. From Jazz to Swing
'Spell it Jass, Jas, Jaz or Jazz - nothing can spoil a Jass band.'
In 1919 the 'Original Dixieland Jazz Band ' crossed the Atlantic and took Britain by storm. British imitations soon stalked the country, pumping out music for dancing. The rise of the Hollywood musical made things tough for British composers. And then the Americans thundered into their Swing era. Those filmed in America :
EUBIE BLAKE , IRVING CAESAR,
HARRY WARREN
Those filmed in England: TOLCHARD
EVANS, VICTOR SILVESTER.
