A celebratory series of 13 programmes for Jubilee Year about craftsmen in Britain. 6: Puppeteer
4 I think that the puppet is an extraordinary powerful force .. , In my opinion it means so much more than any painting or any piece of music or any play acted by a live person.'
John Wright runs the Little Angel Theatre in Islington, London. He writes and produces puppet plays and designs and makes the puppets to take part in them. Tonight's film looks at the creation of one puppet and the play for which it is intended.

Bernardo Bertolucci , writer/director of Last Tango in Paris, has recently completed 1900, which stars Robert de Niro, Burt Lan caster and Dominique Sanda. It is the longest film in the history of Italy's cinema. In its full version 1900 lasts five-and-a-half hours (though there are doubts about this version coming to Britain) and it took two years to shoot. Gavin Millar goes to Rome to talk to the director about the making of his epic and to discuss his earlier films, which include The Conformist and Spider's Stratagem.
