The River That Came Clean
Do you really love your local river? What do you expect to find there - leaping salmon ... or stinking mud? Britain's inland rivers are the cleanest in the world; our estuaries among the foulest. But one great British estuary has come clean - the Thames.
Horizon looks at an environmental story that actually succeeded.

A series of ten programmes 3: The Greatest Benefactor
Introduced by Christopher Roads
An obscure sporting clergyman living on the Scottish coast might seem an unlikely candidate for the title of the greatest benefactor in the history of the development of firearms. THE REV ALEXANDER FORSYTH 'S invention of a system which freed the firer from the tyranny and uncertainty of flint or fire, directly opened the way for the modern cartridge loading gun, the revolver, the repeater and the machine gun.

(The Mouth Agape) starring
Philippe Leotard Nathalie Baye
Hubert Deschamps Monique Melinand
Philippe is an average young man: he has problems at work; he doesn't really understand his wife although he loves her; and life seems to have nothing special in store for him. Then he learns that his mother is ill and the hospital will not keep her ' since there is nothing we can do for her and we need the bed'. The presence of the dying woman at home changes the whole family relationship.
Extraordinary insight, tact and emotional depth. (VARIETY) Written and directed by MAURICE PIALAT Films: page 9

Unlike other Irish comedians who went before him he soon became a very successful figure.
