On 28 August this year, a very special 50th anniversary celebration took place in a tiny, remote island group 110 miles off the west coast of Scotland. The last of the St Kildans had returned to the island of their birth, some for the first time since it was evacuated 50 years ago. Chris Brasher and a BBC film crew were there to witness this historic event. He spoke to the St Kildans, now scattered throughout Britain, about their earliest memories, and tells the story of this legendary community which eked out a living by scaling the highest sea cliffs in Britain in search of sea birds for food.

Upsetting the Balance of Terror?
For more than 30 years the world has lived in the anxious faith that the nuclear deterrent will preserve mankind from the horror of atomic war. Now, however, new missile systems of terrifying sophistication are challenging that fundamental belief. Against the background of a US election in which defence is becoming an increasingly strident issue, David Jessel investigates how the superpowers are squaring up to each other.

Emrys James as Alfred Hinds
'Mr Hinds , any description of locks in Her Majesty's prisons comes under the Official Secrets Act. I cannot allow you to discuss this lock before the public.
In the 50s, press and public alike were thrilled and amused by the exploits of this master of escape.
Scotland Yard saw it differently!
