The first of three programmes
The story of flying boats is one of ingenuity and enterprise; of style during the dying days of Britain's imperial grandeur; of Coastal Command's war against the U-Boats and of post-war scepticism that hastened their end. David Lomax tells of the early days when Britain's first flying boat landed on the Solent in 1913, of First World War patrols in the North Sea and of RAF long-distance pioneering flights to open up routes to the Empire.

Philip Jenkinson has managed to track down and restore 14 of the original films.

A series of eight programmes 4: The Block
Dl is Strangeways' punishment landing, known as The Block. It is a place where men are sent to be punished for breaking prison rules. There is also a segregation unit where prisoners regarded as too subversive to live in the main prison are placed by the Governor for ' good order and discipline'. The officers who work here must be constantly on their guard, for it is a place of tension, where the ' smash up ' is almost commonplace.
In tonight's programme we glimpse cons' law (one inmate must never be seen to grass on another), and witness the tension and anguish of a prisoner being placed in the controversial strip cell.
Film cameraman DEREK BANKS Producer REX BLOOMSTEIN

It was a shock for the people in the 1/9s when Rank announced Woolwich Odeon was to close. But they didn't just sit there: they rose from the back stalls and are fighting to keep their beloved Odeon... and they tell their story tonight.

This is a programme about getting off your backside. Jeni Barnett presents a new series of Grapevine, the self-help show about community action throughout Britain. She tells about tape and slides in Fulham, baby deaths in Nottingham and rock against vandalism in Liverpool, and Jeni even finds time to go to the dogs!

For information, or if you have ideas for the show, please write to Grapevines, [address removed].
