Resolution on Saturn 1: The Rings 2: The Moons
A two-part space journey to the giant planet Saturn. Voyager 1 sent back high-resolution pictures of the mysterious rings and moons made of bus-sized blocks of ice. The rings are 38,000 miles wide but only one mile thick. What causes the gaps in the rings and what are the apparently impossible ' spokes '? Is this what the solar system looked like before the planets themselves formed?
The moons have mythical names and are made of super-cooled ice or fragments of rock held together merely by their own gravity. But Titan is covered in an orange smog-like atmosphere in which the spacecraft's instruments found evidence of the chemicals of life. The surface of this moon appears to have an ocean of natural gas. A landing spacecraft might have to be a submarine. But further exploration of the planets is not being planned.

The feature film starring John Wayne with Donna Reed , Charles Coburn Enlisted by a New York College to help their financial situation, Steve Williams decides that success on the pitch means box-office receipts. Unfortunately his methods of gaining victories are somewhat unorthodox. John Wayne plays an uncharacteristic role as the ex-football coach in this charming and sentimental comedy by one of Hollywood's leading directors, Michael Curtiz.

(1898-1979)
The music of ROY HARRIS , unfamiliar to many of us in Europe, was well-known to American audiences in the 1930s to 50s. After a period of neglect, there is now a revival of interest in his work. This film introduces us to his symphonies, choral and chamber music. This portrait of a musician thought by many to be the most important American composer of his time, has contributions from his widow, the pianist Johana Harris , and the composers Aaron Copland and William Schuman.

A profile in three parts 2: Warrior
Few men had such an influence on Israel's victories over her Arab neighbours as Moshe Dayan. He rose from a Hagganah underground fighter to Chief of Staff in only six years and in the process moulded the Israeli Army into a fighting force which routed the Egyptian defences in Sinai in 1956. Yet the modern battlegrounds of the Middle East had their Biblical parallels which fascinated Dayan the soldier archaeologist and gave him valuable insights into the nature of military strategy and tactics.
