Music has helped to keep the Romany myths and language alive, as in Skopje, Yugoslavia where Europe's largest gypsy community has settled. They have preserved many of their Indian customs in this communist country - now demanding a separate 'Romany nationality'. Of the five million gypsies in East Europe, the best-known are the Budapest restaurant musicians, but others still live in isolated communities with their own Romany school and church. Of those who still travel, many have become West Europe's 'guest-workers'. We follow the migrant gypsies into Germany and, finally, to the World Romany Congress.

A Pretty British Affair Only a short while ago Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger were forgotten names in cinema history. Now, some of the greatest film-makers in the world are their ardent fans. Arena tells the story of two men who confronted the complacency and parochialism of the British cinema with a series of brilliant, subversive and often mystifying films. The Red Shoes, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus , A Matter of Life and Death-film classics which only now have gained the recognition they deserve.
Twenty-five years after their last film together, Powell and Pressburger have received the accolade of the fellowship of the British film academy.
They tell their story to Gavin Millar with contributions from
Francis Ford Coppola in Los Angeles, and Martin Scorsese on location in New York.
