A series of five films about the pleasures of dancing -insights into the worlds of jive, samba, cha cha cha, foxtrot, quickstep, disco and ... 3: Rock 'n* Roll
'Actually rock 'n* roll has been going longer in the 70s than in the 50s. In the 50s it was actually going only for about six years. It has been going longer than that now in the 70s, so let's hope it keeps going.' 'I don't think rock 'n' roll will ever die. No one will let it die.'
Not'only does rock 'n' roll still live, new forms such as Rockabilly are emerging. In this programme PEGGY SPENCER , LORNA LEE and MICHAEL STYLIANOS demonstrate the basic jive and rock 'n' roll figures.

Do you remember Nausea Bag-wash, and the flat at the top of Broadcasting House shared by Askey and Murdoch? Even if you don't they'll have told you about it. Very few people can remember a time when Arthur Askey wasn't part of England's comic furniture. Tonight he recounts just some of the best parts of 60 years in show business.
Recorded at the Westminster Theatre.

The second of three films about the death penalty. 12: Deathwatch
One stroke of a pen caused a shiver to run through the Death Rows of the 37 States of the Union that have retained capital punishment. The signature of new State Governor Graham on the death warrant which sent convicted killer John Spenkelink to the electric chair on 25 May 1979, now means that no convicted prisoner can any longer feel confident that his execution will not take place - while for those who have almost exhausted the long process of appeal, the situation is desperate. Within days of Florida's first execution for 15 years, further death warrants were signed on Bob Sullivan and Chuck Proffitt.
Both are mute and helpless as the grim countdown of the 'deathwatch' routine begins. As their time ebbs away, defence teams swing into action to stop the clock. film cameraman martin PATMORN Film recordist DICK MANTON Film editor Richard RQBERTS Researcher MO BOWYER

A way of ending the week with The Sunday Times. Harold Evans discusses his past year as editor without a paper; Jilly Cooper contends that Britain is still a class-conscious nation, and fellow journalists and critics from the paper come in from the cold.
