The Famous Grouse Event
Carriage driving is the fastest-growing side of the equestrian scene. Soon, it may well be rivalling eventing in popularity.
It is all there, elegant carriages from a bygone age and horses which normally carry trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. Simple, tough, practically home-built carts and Shetland ponies. Modern, steel-framed, custom-built carriages with disc-brakes, and handsome Hungarian horses, bred for suppleness and stamina. RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD describes the scene. JOHN STEVENS goes into the details.

Monetarism - the Conservatives' New Philosophy?
At the Conservative Party Conference, Mrs Thatcher's bold new economic strategy will doubtless bring as much applause from the rank-and-file as it has drawn criticism from Labour and the unions. Donald MacCormick looks at the origins of the Tories' new beliefs, at how the party changed course, and where the new policies may lead.

Mexico and the Mexican Indian A series of six programmes 3: The Empire Builders
The Aztec created the last great civilisation of Mexico. But who were the Aztec and where had they come from? How did a poor nomadic tribe conquer the whole country?
This programme looks at the way the Aztec built up their empire - an empire based on a fear that the sun might set forever unless fed with the most precious of liquids - human blood. Narrated by IAN HOLM

Law-breakers, law-enforcers, lawyers, the law - in 13 frank documentary films set in Florida, USA. 9: Hash and Cold Turkey More illegal drugs are trafficked into the States through Florida than from any other quarter, and that includes the notoriously porous border that divides Texas from Mexico. There are three options open to the authorities; they can curb the traffic, condone the offence or cure the addict, but none of these in itself is the answer. Which leaves the Zion Coptic Church. Either through conviction or expediency, the Church has discovered an ingenious legal loophole. It has proclaimed that marijuana is a sacrament - rather as communion wine during the days of Prohibition - and it's a view that does not go un-challenged in the Courts of Circuit Eleven Miami.
