with the London Symphony Orchestra, leader Michael Davis

"When I look at a film without the music it's like lively death." So says Steven Spielberg, director of Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1941, all with scores by the American composer John Williams. Williams now has the composer credit for some 45 feature films, among them How to Steal a Million, Jane Eyre, Towering Inferno, Superman, Star Wars. Many directors will admit that music is crucial to a film's success, yet the composer's name is rarely known to the general public. This film looks at the craft and the pressures of film music through the work of John Williams, with extracts from several films, and sees him at work on his latest, the second of the Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, which has its London premiere on 20 May.

Each year in May visitors flock in their thousands to the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. The recipe for the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show remains unchanged and yet no two shows can ever be the same.
But it takes people to create atmosphere and under the friendly surface there's keen competition for the Royal Horticultural Society's Gold Medal. Introduced by Peter Seabrook

Why are more and more of our overseas aid charities moving into politics - calling for justice, not charity, for the Third World?
In the last six days one of these agencies - Christian Aid - has collected from us some £3-million. This film follows the route the money will take through one country-India. Beginning with emergency relief programmes that few would question, through new forms of appropriate technology that can help villagers to help themselves, the impulse of compassion finally moves into politics.
For increasingly Christian Aid's partners in India want to tackle not just the symptoms but the causes of poverty. But political issues like human rights or land redistribution mean bitter controversy for Christian Aid back in Britain.

A series of eight programmes 5: Mirrors to Life

Malcolm Bradbury and Margaret Drabble review the novels, and the four writers talk about why they write their kind of fiction.

The Monaco Grand Prix
This world-famous race 'round-the-houses ' of fashionable Monte Carlo takes place on a circuit that has scarcely changed since the first Grand Prix held there in 1929. Though it has been criticised as a venue for modern motor racing, Monaco is still the event the drivers themselves most want to win - an historic prize captured down the decades by legendary names: Nuvolari, Farina, Fangio, Moss, Brabham, Hill - who won a record five times - Stewart and Lauda.
