continues a season of films starring the great Lancashire comedian
[Starring] George Formby
with Peggy Bryan, Edward Chapman
George Pearson is factory foreman at Dawson's Underwear factory and when he gets promoted to overseer, the rise is enough for him to get married. Unfortunately for George and Lydia. his mum wants to go on their honeymoon...
This is not only one of Formby's best movies, but as a social comedy it is both sophisticated and accurate in its observation and in its anticipation of Women s Lib.

Few men have done more to transform attitudes in sport than Henry Cotton. When he became a professional golfer Cotton, like all 'pros', was excluded from the clubhouse. Now he is respected and welcomed throughout the world and in every clubhouse, as a golfing ambassador. His success in competitions is legendary - three Open Championships testify to that. Latterly, he has designed golf courses, including one at Penina in Portugal's AIgarve, where he now lives.
Tonight, Peter Alliss talks to golf's elder statesman.

The last programme in a series which examines the impact of air travel on ourselves and the world we live in. Presented by Julian Pettifer

Whatever technical challenges aviation engineers may be resolving, the whole future of air travel - as a social force - still holds many unanswered questions.
Who will fly where and in what? Will millions more who have not yet flown take to the air? Is growth in air traffic inevitable? Will fuel be the limiting factor? Will there be giant new airports, or will the protesters win the day? In this final programme, Julian Pettifer journeys to a variety of countries to see where civil aviation has brought us in the last 60 years and to ask where it may take us all in the future.

Book (same title), £7.95, from bookshops. Theme music (RESL 72) from record shops.

' The churches in America are places of business. They've become sellers and purveyors of flesh. They're whorehouses. The national cathedral is an abomination.' Those are the views of Mitch Snyder, a leading Christian activist in Washington DC.
MITCH SNYDER is white.
' Power corrupts, but power is a reality. It's what we have and it doesn't scare me a bit.'
Says John Walker , the new bishop of the traditionally white Anglo-Saxon and Protestant Episcopalians in Washington. JOHN WALKER is black. leuan Davies tells of some of the contradictions which surround the building of a vast new cathedral in that city of social conflicts which is the capital of the United States.
