Luigi Nono is a composer. He is a pioneer of the new music. He is a committed Marxist. He lives, where he was born, in Venice.
This film presents his music in the context of world events and of a Venice very different from the city of renaissance art or of Thomas Mann.
Nono's statements are read by ALFRED BURKE

John Tusa introduces people who have suffered under political repression.
Francis Khoo Kah Siang was a senior advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore. In 1977 he was implicated in written and televised ' confessions ' and only just escaped arrest in the confusion of the Chinese New Year celebrations. He and his wife are now living in England as exiles who hope to return home as soon as they can safely do so.

Airport
2: Departure
A second chance to see this series of three programmes in which reporter Harold Williamson meets the men and women who get 800 aircraft and 80,000 passengers in and out of Heathrow every day.
Departure is the story of the 12 hours up to the time when the wheels of Flight 844 bound for Australia leave the runway at Heathrow. Who helps to get this giant jumbo off the ground? And who will be on that flight and why? An emigrating family; a captain whose career can end with his next medical; a grandmother flying for the first time; and two stewardesses who reveal that life at 35,000 feet may have its moments but isn't always as glamorous as the ' Fly Me ' ads suggest.

The Year of the Ladybirds
Forest fires, emergency water supplies, the Minister in charge of Drought and a plague of ladybirds shared the headlines in the summer of 76-the driest for two centuries.
Rivers turned green, ponds vanished, fish were stranded and alien plants appeared overnight. For Britain's wildlife it seemed to be a year of disaster -but was it really? Why were there so many ladybirds? Were the trees really dying?
Two wet, cold summers later, this film made in the heat of a natural crisis now seems strangely nostalgic.
Narrated and produced by BARRY PAINE Production assistant ROBIN HELLIER Series editors MICHAEL ANDREWS and ANTHONY ISAACS

Allan Braham , National Gallery
Nigel Glendinning , Professor of Spanish, London University Eric Young, art historian
Xavier de Salas , Director of the Prado Museum.

Enormous time and trouble hare pone into the trilogy. The colours, at once sombre and glowing, were sound reason for being glad to hare a colour set.
(DAILY MAIL)
Highly informative and valuable, particularly for those of us who have never yet managed to make it to the Prado.
