Edge of the Blizzard
1: Kings of the Sea and the Air
Two thousand kilometres south of Australia, Macquarie Island lies isolated in the stormy Southern Ocean, a life-raft for millions of penguins, seals and albatrosses which come ashore to breed.
One of the spectacular inhabitants of this bustling animal metropolis is the king penguin, which was once boiled down for its oil in giant pressure cookers. Now protected, these birds crowd Macquarie's beaches, living in a carefully-ordered society in which giant petrels, great skuas and feral cats have a vital role to play. Narrator JOHN HEDGES
Produced for AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION by DAVID PARER

A series of five documentary films on topical subjects.
3: A Home for Stephen
Stephen is one of 12,000 waiting to be adopted, but he is of a group of children deemed virtually un-adoptable. For when he was only nine days old, Stephen was struck down by meningitis. Nearly five years later he lives in an institution, unable to walk or to talk.
The Dooleys of Haverhill in Suffolk are a conscientious and close-knit family. They earnestly wish to adopt the boy. To a lay eye the match seems inevitable and desirable. But there are complications, and as the weeks turn into months, what seemed a formality becomes a nightmare.
