A series of films from different parts of the UK which explore some of the complexities of people's sense of identity. 1: Ness 'Ness' is a collection of villages huddled together at the furthest tip of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Elemental in its setting, the community is softly aggressive in its protection and preservation of its own Hebridean Gaelic tradition.
We see the pull of the land, people and culture through the eyes of a poet-crofter, a writer-teacher, a housewife-crofter, and a boat-builder-postmaster.

A series of 12 programmes written and presented by Magnus Magnusson.
Few books can have given the western world so much rich inspiration as the Book of Exodus, with its stories of the Parting of the Red Sea, Moses and the Ten Commandments, the gift of Manna and the 40 years in the Wilderness. Tonight we move from Egypt, through the spectacular Sinai desert to Mount Sinai and on through Jordan to Mount Nebo where Moses was allowed a glimpse of the Promised Land of Canaan before he died.
But which route did Exodus take? Can the present-day desert-dwellers, the Bedouin, give us an image of life for the wandering Children of Israel? What, exactly, is manna? Why is there so little archaeological evidence for many of the places mentioned in the Exodus story? Perhaps there never was an Exodus, as the Bible describes it?

Her mother is shocked by the strength of Deanie's passion; nice girls, she says, don't feel ' that way'. Bud's father insists on him going to Yale before any marriage and the young lovers find the strain on their relationship unbearable.

Five public talks on race relations. 4: Schools and Race
Alan Little , Lewisham Professor of Social Administration, University of London
ALAN LITTLE tackles two questions: What is the known evidence on how children from ethnic minorities are doing at school - and what issues does it raise for parents and teachers?
Do schools hold the key if Britain is to develop as a non-racist society - and are they geared to prepare all children for living in a multicultural community?
