' The series which explores living memory is ten years old this spring. To mark the occasion we present eight programmes from its earlier years.
1: Two Victorian Girls
This film was made in 1969. When it was first shown the critics wrote: The romantic novelist Berta Ruck, and Frances E. Jones, one of the first shorthand typists, were splendidly contrasted performers.
(THE TIMES)
Two old ladies, both over 90, got lost in their reminiscences last night and I was lost in admiration.
(DAILY SKETCH)
Berta Ruck and Frances Jones both lived to be a hundred. Tonight we salute their memories.

Mr Ludwig's Tropical Dreamland
Tonight, Horizon tells the extraordinary story of the Jari project ... a private city state the size of Wales carved out of the Amazon jungle by American billionaire Daniel K. Ludwig.
While arguments rage about the destruction of the rain forest, Ludwig has cleared vast areas of jungle and replanted with the biggest man-made forest in the world ... a mixture of pine and a fast-growing tree which matures in ten short years to provide both pulp and timber. Rice and china-clay are secondary industries. The project has created a mixed community of Americans and Brazilians, already putting down roots and creating traditions.
The project raises a multitude of questions - economic, ecological and political. It's a pioneering high-risk enterprise on a scale which could only have been tackled by the richest man in the world. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
