The Wimbledon Final 1980
For some, the memory of Wimbledon this year was waiting in the rain for play to start, but for most it was the way in which BJORN BORG won his fifth successive title. This in itself was a major achievement, but it was the way JOHN MCENROE fought shot for shot that made it one of the all-time great Wimbledon finals.

A black majority government, said Ian Smith 'would be a disaster for Rhodesia '. Well, would it? The team, who two years ago made Portrait of a ' Terrorist ', a film about Robert Mugabe as a guerrilla leader in exile, went to Salisbury to make this film about him now that he is Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. They were given a unique opportunity to film him at home, in Cabinet, in Parliament and on his only visit so far to one of the troubled Assembly Points. This man, who a year ago was feared as a Marxist terrorist, is now regarded as a moderate statesman upon whom the vast majority of black and white Zimbabweans desperately pin their hopes for the future.
