A film report by Trevor Philpott

This film features two oddly-paired young men, Gerry Cottle and Brian Austin, who decided to build their own circus and take it on the road It's a story of a newborn baby of a roadshow struggling to stay alive on faith, stubbornness and sweat, its proprietors never sure whether they will be able to raise the rent for the next field to pitch a tent in. Anybody who knows the Gerry Cottle circus today will realise just how far they've travelled along the road to success since this film was made. Now it is probably the largest circus in the land and can afford all the elephants it wants.

A series of nine documentary films on topical issues.

The oil bonanza, which breathed life into the nation's economy, also spelled death to many young men who worked under the icy waters of the North Sea. constructing and maintaining the oil-rigs. This toll of diving tragedies prompted the Government to set up schools training divers up to a recognised standard. One such is Fort Bovisand, Plymouth.
In this film, the progress is charted of 16 would-be divers, who embark on a three-month course that will equip them for work on the rigs. Some learn quickly that they are ill-suited. Under stress physical disabilities come to light, as do mental shortcomings: indiscipline. inattention, claustrophobia and panic.
One by one the 16 are eliminated, and at the end very few graduate to their cold, dark, dirty, difficult. dangerous - but highly-paid - profession.

Written and narrated by EDWIN MULLINS
Gustave Courbet was a revolutionary in politics and in art. As an artist he saw himself as a 'realist ' and a ' socialist' and he fought the French artistic establishment all his life. His paintings were thought so scandalous that Napoleon III attacked one of them with a riding crop.
In 1871 he threw himself into the revolutionary Commune and when the government re-established control he was held personally responsible for blowing up the column in the Place Vendome and driven into exile. Now he is seen as one of the fathers of modern painting and his great pictures. bought by the French State, hang in places of honour in the Louvre. Voice of Courbet: Brian Blessed
