A romantic serial in six parts 4: The ' Tartuffe ' Affair
King Louis XIV, exasperated by the clergy's opposition to his love affair with Mademoiselle de la Valliere, decides to strike a blow against hypocrisy by ordering that Moliere's new play Tartuffe, a terrible portrayal of a religious hypocrite, shall be performed before the Court at Versailles. The scandal it causes and the violent outcry by the mysterious ' Brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament' induce the King to abandon Moliere and ban the play. But Moliere's enemies are not satisfied. They demand that he shall be burned at the stake.

The eighth in a series of nine documentary films about the Bolton Area Health Authority, Two Nurses
Sister Bleakley works in the ophthalmic ward caring for patients with eye ailments. She is a conscientious nurse and her rewards are correspondingly great. She can rejoice with the old lady who can look out again over the town at all the familiar landmarks now that her sight has been restored. And she can share the joy of a young girl whose severe squint has been corrected by surgery.
While Sister Bleakley plies her skills, another nurse faces a dismissal hearing. With her union officer in attendance she must answer charges of absenteeism. The process closely resembles a trial. After the prosecution, the defence and witnesses have been heard, three adjudicators retire to consider their verdict. AH this was recorded behind closed doors as it happened.
