A series of four programmes
3: Making the World Go Round Presented by Michel Pelssel
In the Tibetan Kingdom of Zanskar there is no word for technology. To them, machines were invented to grind corn, or to make incense-not to make money. Yet the technology is there - to irrigate their high-altitude desert valley, to build their houses, to get gold from the rivers, to cure their horses, trap the wolves and to extract the dyes, medicines and insecticides from the many plants that grow in the short summer.
Film editors PETER SYMES , DAVID FARLIE Produced by PETER MONTAGNON (Nodrup's Monastery: Thursday 7.30)

starring Shashi Kapoor, Leela Naidu and Durga Khote
Prem has just begun his first teaching job when a marriage is arranged for him with Indu, an attractive but sullen girl whose domestic talents leave much to be desired.
Finding it hard to make ends meet and unable to control his wife or unruly pupils, Prem is horrified to learn that Indu is pregnant. Then his mother comes to stay, with her own strict ideas on how to manage a household.
