Sacred Rings
Presented by Aubrey Burl
Almost 5,000 years ago, at Avebury, hundreds of people struggled for decades to build the great stone circles. In Scotland, centuries later, small family groups banded together to build a circle each. Stone circles are monuments to a lost religion, born of fear, in times of hardship and pestilence. Human bones and objects of value were buried within them, to placate the underworld. Traces of fire are found, as if from a pyre, and the builders of the circles watched the sun and the moon rise and set above the stones as part of their worship.
AUBREY BURL has spent his life studying stone circles and their meaning. This film shows him at work in Aberdeenshire excavating the site where a small circle once stood and contrasts the evidence there with that found at Avebury in Wiltshire, one of the greatest prehistoric monuments in the world. Stone circles will always remain mysterious. But, if all the evidence is taken into account, they need no longer be mystifying as well.

Luck and Flaw
One after another mighty politicians have fallen victim to the savage caricatures of Peter Fluck and Roger Law , better known as Luck and Flaw. Among their most memorable targets are Henry Kissinger as the Statue of Liberty, Jeremy Thorpe as Saint Sebastian and Keith Joseph as Dracula. Uncannily modelled in plasticine, the victims are then photographed for magazines and newspapers all over the world. The results are bizarre, witty and unapologetically extreme.

Each year the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, provide the setting for Britain's greatest horticultural show.
Lesley Judd and Peter Seabrook join the thousands of garden lovers for whom the annual visit to Chelsea has become something of a pilgrimage - an unequalled opportunity to see the best from single blooms to complete gardens.

Nineteenth-century Rome is the setting for tonight's love story based on a Henry James novel.
Daisy Miller , a hare-brained American heiress, is determined to ignore social conventions during her tour of Europe with her mother and younger brother. Her lack of inhibitions shocks and fascinates the socially-correct Frederick Winterbourne. Nevertheless, he follows Daisy to Rome - only to find her entranced by an Italian of dubious repute.
Screenplay by FREDERIC RAPHAEL Produced and directed by PETER BOGDANOVICH. Films: page 19
