Narrated by Leo McKern

The Tasmanian Aborigines were totally exterminated last century. It is the only case on record of a genocide so complete and so swift. The British colonists in Tasmania wiped out the whole race within the lifetime of Truganini, who was the last to die, in 1876. This programme follows the painstaking search by archaeologist Dr Rhys Jones to uncover the full story of the Tasmanians' terrible fate and to reconstruct their unique culture and way of life.

The Tasmanians were a different people from the Aborigines in mainland Australia. During 12,000 years of isolation from Australia and the rest of the world, Tasmanians went 'into reverse', actually reducing their technology to become the simplest society ever known. By the time the British arrived, they could not even make fire.
The genocide began with an official massacre, progressed through bestial atrocities committed by escaping convicts, into full-scale military operations. The last remnants were deported to an offshore island, forcedly civilised, and died rapidly as a result. Even after death, their bodies were stolen from the grave and mutilated.

Incest and the Law
Are our laws on incest essential and effective - or should they be changed - even abolished? At this moment the Criminal Law Revision Committee, at the request of the Home Office, are considering ' whether it is necessary or desirable to retain the offence of incest as at present defined....
In our society incest has been a taboo subject for longer than most of us can remember. But since the law is now under review, many people feel that the time has come to learn the facts and look again at the reasons for the taboo.
On film, people who have been directly involved reveal how the present law has affected them: in the studio Michael Dean and Harold Williamson try to find out from psychiatrists, social workers, legal experts, and others responsible for dealing with incest cases just how far they feel our present law should be changed - if at all.

The sixth of ten programmes George Lane Fox , Landlord
George Lane Fox is the ninth generation of his family to be landlord of Bramham Park, one of the great estates of Yorkshire. His mother remembers the rebuilding of the house by droves of workers 70 years ago, his father the endless hunts that passed the winters of the 30s. When GEORGE LANE Fox returned from the army a few years ago the job of being landlord had greatly changed. The film looks at the way he has gone about it.
