A series of four programmes featuring people who live and work in the New Forest. 1: Of Horses and Men
Many thousands of people visit the forest each year to walk the forest paths, and to admire the trees, heathlands and wildlife. But it is also a place where people live, where artists seek their inspiration and many folk make their living. In this first programme Dennis Skillicorn travels to Sway to meet Ron Ings who makes his living breaking-in horses for the ever increasing band of riders and carriage drivers. At Bramshaw he visits the local blacksmith Roger Skin ner, and at Ringwood, farmer Tom Samson shows him his old traditional farm machinery and his team of heavy horses. For Tom ' life wouldn't be worth living without them'.

Arctic Paradise
On one of the last frontiers - in the Yukon, on the edge of the Arctic Circle, where the winter temperatures can drop to a dramatic 70 degrees below zero - Roger Mendelsohn has chosen to make his home. He lives by fur trapping in winter and salmon fishing in the short summer.
He came from a Toronto suburb, his wife from the warmth of California and together they have had to learn the skills they need to survive in one of the harshest but most beautiful lands in the world. They live with two small children in an isolated log cabin they built themselves. They travel by dog sled in winter and by boat in summer on the Yukon River, their only ' road ' to the outside world.
Now their peaceful pioneer life-style is under threat. The rising price of gold has brought a new Gold Rush to Dawson City, just 30 miles away; their wilderness is now being torn up by the big mining companies; their traps disturbed by tractors: small-scale prospectors are staking their claims in the neighbouring creeks. Their Arctic paradise could soon be destroyed.

Also starring Richard Chamberlain
In this controversial and idiosyncratic portrait of Peter Tchaikovsky, director Ken Russell combines his extravagant imagination with a biographical study of the great Russian composer. The film concentrates on Tchaikovsky's failure to come to terms with his own homosexuality which leads him, partly in a desperate bid for 'normality' and partly to fulfil a wild romantic notion, into a disastrously unsuitable and destructive marriage.
This disturbing work of undeniable power and fascination provided Glenda Jackson with one of the most challenging and demanding roles of her career as the neurotic, importunate wife.
Screenplay by MELVYN BRAGG based on the book Beloved Friend by CATHERINE DRINKER BOWEN and BARBARA VON MECK Produced and directed by KEN RUSSELL (First showing on British television) Films: page 17
