The Brendan Voyage
Is it possible that a medieval Irish monk could have reached America nearly 1,000 years before Columbus? Could he have sailed in a small leather boat across the cold, savage spaces of the North Atlantic?
In an attempt to prove whether such a voyage was possible, Tim Severin and two colleagues risked their lives in a replica of the craft that, legend has it, Brendan used to make the voyage. They met all the hazards one might expect: whales, appalling seas, icebergs that could have torn their small boat apart; and they survived.
If Brendan made the same journey we shall never know, but at least TIM SEVERIN and his friends have proved that he could have. This is the film of that proving voyage.

An entertainment In six episodes recorded on the stage of The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. 5: What about Verisimilitude?
In which IXWEED, STASSIDGE, PROGMORTON and FRINGFOOT continue to nurture the seeds of their own destruction.
ALICE, GRANNY and ENID, victims of virtue, set in motion the wheels of revenge.
PROGMORTON almost reveals - too late anyway - how much he longs for love (and does he have a past of sorts?).
Lovable HECKLEWELL and BELINDA look like being the deserving survivors.

Fifth in a series of seven films about artists at work today. Duane Hanson
Last summer an exhibition of DUANE HANSON 's sculpture broke all attendance records at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
Tonight's programme not only features that exhibition, but also visits the artist at work in his Florida studio.
His neo-realist' sculpture may not endear him to the ' art press ' but the success of his exhibitions prove him to be one of the most popular contemporary artists in America.
' I always wanted an art form that would relate to everyday people and not be so lofty and esoteric that it took a genius to figure it out.'

With this nostalgic and bitter look at contemporary relationships, Lelouch marks the passage of time since 1966 when he made the simple and sentimental love story of A Man and a Woman.
It is the last day of 1973. A Man end a Woman is being shown in a prison as a holiday treat. After the film, three men are paroled. As one of them, Simon, tries to pick up the threads of his life, he thinks back to 1966: the year he planned an audacious jewel robbery - and fell in love.
Guest appearance by MIREILLE MATHIEU playing herself
Claude Lelouch returns to top form with this witty. sophisticated divertissement which is a judicious mix of caper and love story. (FILMS ILLUSTRATED) It involves a robbery which for ingenuity and excitement can be mentioned in the same breath as the famous speechless caper of Dassin's Riflfl.
