Colombian Roots
Colombia is a complex country where Spanish, African and Indian races have blended to form a new culture. It has produced unique forms of music and dance, as* attractive as any in Latin America and much less well-known than those of Brazil or Argentina. The roots of this new culture are explored with the help of Manuel Zapata Olivella, an anthropologist whose own ancestry includes the three races of Colombia.

Bach's six Partitas for unaccompanied violin are among the very greatest and most demanding solo works in any violinist's repertoire. BBC2's Sunday night music series continues with a filmed public performance of Partita No 6 in E major, given by Itzhak Perlman. It was recorded at one of BBC Radio 3's weekly lunchtime concerts in St John 's, Smith Square, London - built in the same decade in which Bach's music was written. Introduced for the radio audience by PATRICIA HUGHES

Ten years ago, a Chancellor of the Exchequer died in office just a month after moving into No 11 Downing Street. He was Iain Macleod - throughout the 1960s the one potential Conservative leader the Labour Party really feared.
Tonight, in the week of the Conservative Party Conference, Anthony Howard looks back on the life and career of the man who as Colonial Secretary turned 'the wind of change' in Africa into a reality. Branded as 'too clever by half', was Macleod too much of the bridge-playing tactician for his own good? Or was he rather a Celtic romantic with whom the Conservative Party never quite felt at ease?
Among those assessing the often controversial record of the greatest Tory orator of modern times are his widow Lady Macleod of Borve, his one-time cabinet colleagues Lord Butler, Lord Boyle and The Rt Hon Enoch Powell, MP, his most formidable white antagonist in Africa Sir Roy Welensky, together with two of his former political opponents at home, The Rt Hon James Callaghan, MP, and Lord Lever.

continues a season celebrating Hollywood's 'new wave' directors of the 70s, starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ronny Howard

A small Californian town: 1962. Four friends - about to leave for college - get together for a typical night's entertainment, centred on chasing girls and baiting the local police. This free-wheeling, highly-entertaining film has a memorable music score - made up of 50s' rock hits - which did much to ensure the movie's sensational box-office success.
