The Educated Trout
Narrator JOHN HEDGES
The wild brown trout of the chalk streams of southern England is a wary, wily and powerful predator. It feeds very selectively on the rich insect life; on larvae like the stonemason caddis, and the spectacular mayfly.
Fishing for trout here is the summit of the angler's art; success comes only from an elaborate deception, made out of fur and feather, so the expert must be both entomologist and mimic extraordinary. On the beautiful banks of a Berkshire river, top fishermen Brian Clarke and John Goddard test their new fly designs in their quest to catch the really difficult educated trout.
Film editor CHARLES ALDRIDGE

A series of six 30-minute interviews by Ludovic Kennedy with people whose lives have changed suddenly and dramatically.
1: John Ehrlichman
LUDOVIC KENNEDY talks to JOHN EHRLICHMAN about his life before he joined Nixon's White House staff; his role as the President's domestic affairs adviser, when he was reputedly one of the three most powerful men in the US; the crisis of Watergate and the changes that 18 months in prison have brought. The man who helped create the famous ' Berlin Wall' around Nixon and was feared by many, discusses the experiences that he has put into two best-selling novels, one of which was turned into the television blockbuster Washington: Behind Closed Doors.

continues the season of recent, highly-acclaimed films.
Starring Glenda Jackson, Mona Washbourne
'I first thought of suicide when I was eight - the thought cheered me up enormously. One might not be able to rely on life but one could always rely on death.'
Witty, caustic and sad, Stevie Smith lived a life of seeming ordinariness in the London suburb of Palmers Green. Yet by the time of her death in 1971, she was one of Britain's most admired poets - awarded the Queen's Medal in 1969 - as well as a novelist, broadcaster and social celebrity. She rejected lovers and suitors, fashionability and the external trappings of fame, dedicated to her writing and to her aunt. In this memorable film, based on Hugh Whitemore's play and the writings of Stevie Smith , Glenda Jackson gives one of her greatest performances. A portrayal equalled by that of Mona Washbourne as ' The Lion Aunt'.
"I'd trade six 'James Bonds' and a handjul of 'Pink Panthers' for the pleasure of watching and, above all, listening to the exquisite movie again - and I've seen it twice already." (DAILY MAIL)
