A series of five films about the historical evidence provided by the cinema newsreel.
1:Before Your Very Eyes
In the 1930s, to see events in faraway places and to hear the famous men of the time was a new and revolutionary experience. It was an experience made possible by the cinema newsreel, and one shared by 20 million people every week.

The 1940s were the one period of English history when there was a serious and sustained effort by the state to control public opinion. The cinema was one of the main instruments of this campaign. How did the machinery of persuasion work?

Dr George Steiner on Has Truth a Future?
Dr Jacob Bronowski , who died in 1974, said in his last broadcast ' No scientist could accept the idea that he's to make a discovery and then not publish it.' And yet, increasingly, there are pressures to restrict the scientist's freedom to search for the truth in case what he discovers causes harm to society.
In the first of an annual series of lectures in Jacob Bronowski 's memory, DR GEORGE STEINER , Fellow of Churchill College, Cam-bridge, analyses this growing conflict between science and the public good, and considers the possibility that scientists will no longer be allowed to search for the truth wherever it is to be found.

This week: Weight on their Minds Mostly they are young girls on the brink of adolescence. They begin to diet and for a while are happy to be fashionably slim. But they don't stop there - they can't. They eat less and less until they are skinny, then emaciated, and ultimately skeletal. The girls who are not caught in time, in one of the strangest ironies of our affluent age, can die of starvation. What is this strange obsession that turns intelligent articulate girls into obsessive non-eaters?
Doctors have a name for it-anorexia nervosa. But do they have a cure? Tonight's programme investigates and talks to some girls who are victims of this bizarre disorder.
