Gorilla
King Kong still rules our imagination, but watching our closest relatives in the wild reveals a gentler giant. Gorillas are the shyest and, sadly, the rarest of the great apes.
The mountain gorilla is running out of a place to live. The low-land gorilla, familiar in many zoos, may share that fate. America's Dian Fossey , and John Aspin all here in Britain are, like many others, endeavouring to dispel the apathy and ignorance that shrouds these intelligent and magnificent creatures.
Narrated and presented for BBC television by BARRY PAINE

If you look at the fashion pages of the newspapers, then look at the way the people in the streets are dressed, the connection might sometimes seem slender. In My Fashion is a sequence of filmed interviews with ordinary people about what they have in their wardrobes. Included are a student who goes out ' for a good pose every day', an artist who resents the fact that men should always wear dark suits, a teacher who's ' never grown out of dressing up ', a Forestry Commission officer who always wears the kilt, and a North London rabbi who feels he should ' look good to be able to do the thing that I want to do '.
