Battle for the Acropolis
Living with the 20th century is rapidly destroying the fragile remains of the world's ancient civilisations and a year ago UNESCO appealed for funds to save the monuments of the Acropolis. To save them from damage from tramping tourists and from a corroding network of ancient steel, slowly expanding inside the historic marble, which has turned the buildings into potential time-bombs. A documentary classic. (THE LISTENER) SerieseditorBRUCENORMAN

1927: an era when girls were Shebas and the boys were Sheikhs and life on a university campus was full of romance, flirtation, comedy and music and where the right boy and the right girl always ended up together. Well so it is, in this enchanting and vivacious musical.

Told by Laurens van der Post
For several days and nights writer Laurens van der Post and his granddaughter Emma walked through the bush and slept under the stars in the midst of an African wilderness. Accompany them were Ian Player, an almost legendary ranger, and a guide and keeper of Zulu history, Magqubu Ntombela. At night around their fire they heard the haunting cry of baboons bunted by lions and leopards. By day they were able to approach, as only a small party can to within 30 yards of a rhino family and a herd of dangerous African buffalo.
What is the impact of Africa on someone seeing and experiencing it for the first time? What is it like to be on watch alone beside a fire in a true wilderness? Above all, does this kind of simple king point the way to a closer and deeper understanding of why we need wild animals even more than they need us for their survival?

A sudden waking in the night, the presence of something in an empty room-what is it? The voice of despair? ...or death?
Starting from that key experience in the life of the author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, this film explores Tolstoy's beliefs, his 'conversion', the havoc of his love life, and his concern with death - as seen through a dramatisation of his celebrated story The Death of Ivan Ilyich.
