A chance for younger viewers to see this award-winning series.
Yorkshire cameraman Sid Perou , who has travelled the globe on caving explorations, penetrates the mysterious world beneath the Pennines, and takes us where television has never been before. It's a world seen previously only by that obsessive and exclusive band of explorers - Britain's 20,000 cavers.
Pippikin Pot
On remote Leek Fell. a cave exists so forbidding in its entrance series, only a ' thin man' team can go there at all. Beyond lies the promise of further discovery, but Pippikin Pot's challenge is that even a minor injury could entomb an explorer.
This film won the 1978 Royal Television Society Regional Programme Award.

The life and death of a poet. A drama documentary by PAUL FERRIS starring
The poet Dylan Thomas died in New York 25 years ago today at the age of 39. Alcohol and a doctor's injection of morphia were the immediate causes Ever since his childhood in Wales his life was a spectacular attempt - comic at times, serious below the surface, tragic at the finish -to survive on his own bizarre terms as the poet to end all poets. By the 1950s, that first postwar decade of uneasiness and change, Dylan Thomas was a legend to his admirers but a burnt-out case to himself. As he tours America to read poetry to rapt audiences, his past crowds in on him, the fractured memories of a man at the end of his tether.

A Charter of Choice
A venture in tenant participation presented hy
The Basildon Joint Tenant/Council Management Committees
* The council tenant was once regarded as something of a second-class citizen. But here in Basildon we have developed a way of sharing responsibility between councillors, officers and tenants, giving us a voice in running and shaping our homes, community and environment. This has given us choice, new rights and freedoms - a working Tenants Charter.'
