The first of six programmes.
An exploration in Cornwall with W. G. Hoskins
What makes Cornwall such a distinctive part of England? The marvellous coastline? The superb beaches and great headlands? Professor William Hoskins suggests that this beautiful scenery is only part of the answer and he asks: what lies behind it? On the Lizard, at Land's End, on the cliffs near Padstow, and in remote and lonely villages and farmhouses, he looks at the way that Cornish men and women have themselves fashioned the local scene with the stone that lay under their own feet.

with Oliver Cotton, Alec McCowen, Rosemary McHale, Patrick Stewart, Zena Walker
On a cold day in January 1850, a group of travelling actors arrive out of the snow at the remote country estate of Count Horvath, in eastern Hungary. The Count is delighted to have an excuse for re-opening the old family theatre, closed since his childhood. But other members of his household wonder whether these unexpected guests should be made quite so welcome.
