A film report by Trevor Philpott
The blacks of South Africa have been promised their own television service to be run by blacks for blacks - but not until 1980.
This film was shot entirely in Soweto, the largest of the black townships. It looks at the way the blacks there entertain themselves, at the kind of black talent hidden in the township's streets, and shows the sort of programmes that they would like to see when they get their own television channel.
This is a film which now stands in the nature of a historical document. The Philpott File team spent two months in Soweto before the riots of January 1976 which altered the political spirit of that troubled township beyond recall.
including a news summary with sub-titles for the hard-of-hearing. followed by Weather
A tale of courage, ingenuity and talent in the face of everything a hostile fate can throw at an enterprise.
In the same hangar which housed the ill-fated R101-Britain's last attempt to lead the world in airship technology - a small team of young men have battled to build the airship of the future. For the last 18 months this film has followed their fortunes.
For Roger Munk , the designer, what started as the chance to fulfil a dream turned into a struggle against pressures of time, money - and the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing risk.

Law-breakers, law-enforcers, lawyers, the law - in 13 frank documentary films set in Florida, USA, where, for one experimental year, the State opened up its court-rooms to the camera.
1: Murder in the First Degree Part 1
Henry Peelle (86) is found sadistically slain in his bedroom overlooking Miami Beach. In six weeks Thomas Perri is arrested. But the case against Perri can only stick because his accomplice Stephen Weiss is a ' snitch' - he's turned State's evidence. Weiss's testimony can send Perri to the chair - now a stark reality since John Spenkelink was electrocuted in May this year. Film cameras are in court as the shadow of death hangs over Perri, and his Defence bends every rule of procedure to needle Weiss and discredit his evidence with accusations of deviant sexual practices. Walter Merricks adds an English lawyer's point of view.
