One Pair of Eyes, the celebrated series of highly-personal films, ran for eight years - from 1967 to 1974. For this series, one programme from each of those years has been selected.

Dom Moraes, poet and journalist, examines his situation as a coloured Englishman who suddenly feels he is an immigrant. 'On 20 April 1968, Enoch Powell made his notorious speech in Birmingham on race relations. It suddenly seemed that he was expressing the feeling of the man-in-the-street in England. It seemed to me that the whole of my life here must be based on a false premise.'
Dom Moraes looks back over his own life; his childhood in India; his literary success, winning the Hawthornden Prize for his poetry at the age of 20; his time at Oxford; his marriage into an English county family; and then goes to Bradford to see to what extent he can identify with ordinary immigrants.

Where Hops Will Grow
It's been invaded by Normans in boats and holidaymakers in cars. Fought over and fought for, farmed and tilled since Domesday times. It's sprouted bungalows and motorways now but the image of the garden of England miraculously remains.

Five public talks on race relations.
Dr Stuart Hall, Director, Centre for Cultural Studies, University of Birmingham.

What sense are we to make of events such as the Notting Hill riots of 1958, the Smethwick by-election of 1964, and the various Immigration and Race Relations Acts passed since? Over the last 20 years, has it become more 'legitimate' to use words and expressions which are tinged with racial prejudice? If so, why and how has it happened? Dr Hall analyses the relationship between Britain's economic and social problems and the formation of 'climates of public opinion' on questions of race and immigration.

The texts of these talks are available in a booklet. Details from: Multi-Racial Britain, [address removed].
