The Famous Grouse Event
Lakeland Lightning returns to your screens tonight in the second of two programmes from Scone. After dressage comes the marathon, a cross-country test over 18 miles of the Perthshire countryside, finishing with the problems of guiding the teams safely through six obstacles, man-made and natural, including the River Tay. It's the end of a tough weekend for drivers, horses and carriages. RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD describes the scene. JOHN STEVENS goes into the details.

As Chairman Hua Guofeng begins his visit to Western Europe - the first ever, by a Chinese leader - a special edition of Newsweek looks at Mao Zedong's successor.
Using film previously unseen in the West, Felix Greene charts the history of Hua's career, from rural poverty to the leadership of the biggest nation on earth. In his first public interview ever, Chairman Hua talks about his childhood, his part in the war against the Japanese, and how Mao asked him to become his successor.

Mexico and the Mexican Indian A series of six programmes 4: The People of the Valley
The valley of Oaxaca was the home of the greatest craftsmen of Mexico-the Zapotec and the Mixtec. Although they were conquered by the Aztec, they managed to retain their own traditions and descendants of both still live in the valley today; still working in metal and still making traditional pots.
In 1932 excavations of an ancient Mixtec burial revealed one of the most important treasures ever found in Mexico - nine skeletons surrounded by vast quantities of jade, turquoise and gold. An indication of the high point that Mixtec culture had reached over a thousand years ago. Narrated by IAN HOLM

Law-breakers, law-enforcers, lawyers, the law - in 13 frank documentary films set in Florida, USA.
To the Miami cops who patrol in pairs, the hot and humid nights, the signs of vice and crime are plain to see. In the volatile and multi-racial slum the drug-dependent rob and mug. Downtown the tourist-trodden boulevards are punctuated by prostitutes - some of them policewomen in hookers' garb, dressed to entrap the soliciting male. Off the streets organised crime continues unseen. But in one trial before Judge Ellen Morphonios there is a tantalising glimpse of Cosa Nostra activities. Terry Lee Garcia is on trial for first degree murder. Is he a respectable and lovable grand-father? Or is he a sinister and ruthless godfather - into the massage parlour business, mass murder and 12 million in counterfeit dollars laundered into London? The verdict hangs on the evidence of a 'supergrass'.
Lawyer Walter Merricks examines the ethics of these two forms of police activity: the use of the agent provocateur to tempt offenders to offend, and the use of the potentially tainted evidence of a convicted criminal.
