Six films about old sailing vessels that have survived; some as play-things of the rich, some in the care of enthusiastic volunteers, and a few in the work they were built for, still sailed by men who get their living from the sea.
1: Falmouth Working Boats
The oyster banks on the River Fal are the last in the world to be fished by hand and sail alone. The boats that do the job have evolved over hundreds of years into craft that are practical and beautiful.

continues the season of Holly-wood's classic Westerns starring
James Stewart Robert Ryan Janet Leigh
Bounty hunter Howard Kemp has been on the trail of Ben Vander groat, outlaw and killer, for weeks. His motive - the 5,000 dollars reward offered for Ben, dead or alive. Kemp is joined by two strangers - Jesse Tate , an old prospector, and Roy Anderson , a cashiered cavalry man. They assist in Ben's capture but demand a share of the reward money.
This intense and tough study of a hunted man and his greedy captors is strikingly directed and photographed on location in the Colorado Rockies.

A series of 13 programmes Written and presented by Robert Kee
8: Rising
When the Great War started in 1914, tens of thousands of Irish-men, from all parts of the country, enlisted in the British Army to fight, as they thought, for the rights of small nations like Belgium or even Ireland. Then, on Easter Monday 1916, Dublin rocked with the news that a small group of Irish nationalists had taken over the General Post Office and other strategic sites in the capital and proclaimed an Irish Republic. Five days later, the centre of Dublin was in ruins and the Rising was over. Its leaders were executed.
This is an account by eyewitnesses on both sides of the Easter Rising, its putting down and the executions that followed.
' It was like watching a stream of blood coming from under a closed door' reported one Irishwoman, as Irish people, who at first had jeered the rebels, came to condemn those who had executed them instead.
