In 1965 Andreas Cariolou located a huge pile of amphoras lying on the sea-bed off the coast of Cyprus. These wine jars were the cargo of a long-lost merchant ship. After years of meticulous work by specialists from 12 countries, that ship, the oldest sea-going ship in the world, now stands on display, together with its cargo, in the hall of Kyrenia Castle.

"The ship is the star of the film". (The Times)

London Welsh v London Irish
In this battle of the exiles, the Welsh have been the stronger side over the last decade. However, this year the London Irish are above them in the London merit table. So with national pride as well as status at stake, a hard game is ensured.

The 1970s: What Went Wrong?
In the last decade all our economic certainties were turned upside down. Governments appeared no longer to control inflation, unemployment or public spending. So, what went wrong? In a co-production with America's leading business programme, Wall Street Week, Peter Hobday in London and Louis Rukeyser in Baltimore, talk to The Rt Hon Edward Heath , mp, William Simon , former us Treasury Secretary, and leading experts in Tokyo, Bonn and the Middle East. They will be asking if we could have coped any better with the energy crisis; done more to keep down inflation and why so many people in the industrialised world found themselves out of a job.
The 1980s look like starting with a world-wide recession; if we are to keep it at bay what lessons can we learn from the last ten years?
