with Angela Rippon Out of the Rut
Joe Henson farms 1,000 acres in the Cotswolds. Though he might have followed his family on to the stage, farming proved a stronger attraction. But as more specialised breeds of animals came into fashion, he could see the old farmyard favourites disappearing for ever. He mounted a rescue operation.
Today, one corner of his farm houses a collection of these rare breeds. Brought from the brink of extinction to a showplace in the Cotswolds, they bide their time for the day when Joe's ideal of farming may once again become a reality.
ANGELA RIPPON joins Joe on his home patch to look back over the more conventional farming year and to catch up on the progress of his own agricultural revolution.

Gavin Millar in Hollywood
' It's very easy to just get taken in by the sun and the swimming pools, the big cars, the big houses. But it's nothing. You can't make films about those things and it's quite dull. I mean, this is quite a dull town.' - Franc Roddam (Quadrophenia) on Hollywood. Roddam is one of several young British directors now at work on films for American studios.
Meanwhile, Sandy Leiberson has just resigned as president of 20th Century-Fox, fearing that the big corporations are more interested in real estate than real movies. Martin Scorsese says that he and friends like COPPOLA are looking for new ways to make movies outside the big studios.
Nicholas Ray died this year, some say a victim of the studio system. A tribute to this great Hollywood director whose work includes Rebel Without a Cause, Johnny Gui tar, Party Girl and Bitter Victory.

Based on Robert E. Burns 's auto-biographical novel, this damning indictment of the American penal system caused a sensation when it was released in 1932 and the film remains today one of the great social dramas in the history of the cinema.
Paul Muni stars as an ex-serviceman who unwittingly becomes a party to a hold-up. Caught with five dollars in his pocket, he is sentenced to ten years' hard labour and the nightmare of the chain gang.
