An exploration
G. K. Chesterton said ' Christianity hasn't been tried and found wanting; it's been found difficult and left untried.' Is this the same for the church? Is our prejudice based on caricature or are we justified in expecting the churches to be other than they are?

A digest of the news of the week and other world matters of interest seen by news cameras around the world, the interesting, the picturesque, the important and the dramatic plus a visual commentary for those who cannot hear.

Where it happens and why it's happening, with the correspondents of the BBC in Britain and round the world.

Brought to Britain by the Normans as a valued source of meat and fur, it came to be loathed by farmers. Introduced to Australia for sport, it caused a major ecological disaster. Faced with direct competition from the tremendously successful rabbit, man resorted to the ultimate weapon - biological warfare - with myxomatosis.
It is just 25 years since myxomatosis arrived in Britain. What of the rabbit now? Has it changed its habits to combat the virus and is the disease less deadly? Can there ever be room for man and rabbit?

An appreciation of the great opera singer by her friends.
'To think of Callas only as a prima donna is to miss her ultimate importance. She was a revolutionary who turned the world of opera upside down and re-set its course.'
(Franco Zeffirelli)
Maria Callas, whose electrifying voice could achieve effects beyond the reach of lesser performers, died in September 1977 at the early age of 53. This documentary film tribute, introduced and narrated by her friend and producer, Franco Zeffirelli, explores the reality behind the myth; the background story of Callas's magnetic personality, of the astonishing, often acrimonious, publicity that surrounded her life. The programme includes Callas herself singing, on film, some of her best-known arias (from Bellini's Norma, Puccini's Tosca and Verdi's II Trovatore). It also includes a filmed conversation with another producer, the late Luchino Visconti, and part of Callas's Conversations with Lord Harewood, filmed for BBC Television in 1968.
with tributes from Sir Rudolf Bing, Montserrat Caballé, Elvira de Hidalgo, Carlo Maria Giulinl, Tito Gobbi, Sander Gorlinsky, Gian-Carlo Menotti, Nicola Rescigno, Renata Scotto, Renata Tebaldi
