At the beginning of the century, the ambition of every American chorus girl was to appear in the lavish follies staged by America's greatest showman. MGM have produced an equally lavish film of three pretty girls on the threshold of Ziegfeld success and, in true Hollywood style, cast three of their most glittering stars as the chorus girls.

When the circus showman Jimmy Chipperfield and Lord Bath released 50 wild lions into Longleat Park in 1965 the press branded them as ' madmen '.
But the success of the Safari Park idea was born of generations of Circus life. Jimmy was once a clown, juggler, wirewalker and circus manager. Today his daughter Mary is renowned as a tiger trainer-and his son John helped set up 27 safari parks and zoos across the world.
They filmed their own exciting record of circus life - and catching elephants and giraffes in the African bush.

This week's theme: Story-telling
Masacclo (1401-1428) The Tribute Money at Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence
MASACCIO died young, only 26 or 27 years old, yet he is recognised as one of the masters of Renaissance art.
This fresco sets out a complete story. The theme, the superiority of the spirit, clearly excited Masaccio's sympathy and it inspired this, his masterpiece. Written and narrated by ALISTAIR SMITH

A film about the artists
HUBERT AND JAN VAN EYCK written and narrated by David Thompson
Working in the early 15th century, the Van Eycks were two of the foremost innovators of western art, giving us a whole new grasp of the visible world. Their masterpiece, the altarpiece of The Adoration of the Lamb in the Cathedral of St Bavo, Ghent, with its many paintings covering the liturgy of the Christian year, is one of the great national treasures of Belgium. Begun by Hubert, it was finished after his death by his brother. Jan. It was dedicated 550 years ago, on 6 May 1432, and special permission was granted by the Cathedral authorities to include it in this programme.
This film relates the Van Eycks' paintings to the locations where they lived and worked: the valley of the Meuse and Maastricht in the Netherlands, the cities of Bruges and Ghent in Belgium, and at the Court of Burgundy.
