First of ten new films about arts and crafts in Britain today.

'What I'm trying to do is to make the words sing on paper!'
Ann Hechle is a calligrapher. The craft is difficult, precise and sensual. She grinds her own Chinese stick inks, cuts quills from the feathers of swans and geese, writes on vellum and burnishes letters with gold.

Last of ten films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys. Gaudy
The summer term at Radley College is drawing to a close. It's time for pranks and practical jokes -and policing, as Housemasters and Dons turn vigilante. For nothing must go wrong on Gaudy Day, when the College is en fête to 1,000 parents. Laid on for them are concerts and cricket, puppy shows, Paradise Lost, and mounds of strawberry tarts under the spreading chestnut trees. Here the Warden says goodbye to another generation of Radleians - and incidentally to a BBC film crew, which has chronicled his movements for the last six months.

Investigates, Discovers, Questions This week: Missing Hero
' I think he was the greatest hero of World War II'. 'All our family owe our lives to him '. ' One of the righteous men - a Christian who risked his life to save Jewish lives'.
(PRIME MINISTER BEGIN OF ISRAEL)
Raoul Wallenberg - a Swedish diplomat in Budapest in 1944-saved tens of thousands of Jews from being sent to death in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz. Russian forces occupied Budapest in 1945 and Wallenberg disappeared. For a long time people thought he was dead, but it is now known that he was arrested by the Russians.
John Bierman reports in this investigative film the amazing story of this modern Pimpernel's rescue exploits and the mystery of his disappearance. Today, inescapable evidence shows that he could still be alive somewhere in the Gulag. If he is, he's been there ' forgotten ' for 35 years.

featuring Loudon Wainwright III
Lock up your daughters. A brazen New Yorker, Wainwright cheerfully admits to being lewd, sexist and outrageous, but beyond the lunacy and the bizarre stage act, his songs carry real pathos and poignancy.
And Boys of the Lough who combine Irish, Scots ana Northumbrian music with an infectious charm.
