starring
Chips Rafferty , Daphne Campbell
In 1942 the Japanese invasion of northern Australia seemed inevitable and a scorched earth policy was planned. But drover Dan McAlpine knows that 1,000 head of cattle can help win the war and with a small band of helpers starts a trek across some of the toughest country in the world.
Ealing's first production in Australia was a notable achievement for director Harry Watt and his crew, in their vivid depiction of a 2,000-mile cattle drive.

Should parents of a girl aged 15 be told that she asked to be put on the pill? Should badly handicapped babies be allowed to die? Should precious money be spent on vital kidney machines or on improving overcrowded geriatric hospitals?
Every day doctors, nurses and administrators face difficult ethical decisions. In the past they have often maintained they are the only people qualified to make these judgments. But the British Medical Association invited Man Alive to debate the issues. Reporters Nick Ross , Harold Williamson
