Steam and the Pit
Before raw materials and coal could be taken from deep mines an engine for pumping out water had to be developed. In the second of eight films, Anthony Burton goes underground at Britain's first colliery museum, looks at an original Newcomen steam engine and visits the oldest steam pumping engines still doing their original job.

The first of an occasional film series in which Donny MacLeod samples the American life-style, coast-to-coast.
He begins in New York, surviving the breakneck pace of a tourist Saturday-from breakfast at Tiffany's to a midnight view from the Empire State Building. And he relaxes with the millions who spend their Sundays in Central Park. In a skyscraper city this is where everyone lets off steam - and today is Puerto Rico day.

A series of four programmes 3: A Question of Loyalty
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 there was a period of unprecedented disruption for the 100,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast of America. For, despite the fact that many of them were American citizens, the United States Government felt uncertain whether their loyalty to their adopted country could be counted on in the event of a Japanese invasion. So they were moved into ten huge internment camps. The first hurriedly-built camp was at a desolate place called Manzanar, 250 miles from Los Angeles. In this programme seven of the Manzanar internees tell their story. Narrator ANDREW FAULDS
