2:Officers and Gentlemen
Before you can sit in a cockpit you must know how to stand to attention. All pilots must be commissioned officers. For 18 weeks their feet won't touch the ground. At the Officer Cadet Training Unit, RAF Henlow, they are taught everything an officer needs to know. This first hurdle claims the first casualty.

Gold Fever
Narrated by Patrick Allen
The great Australian Gold Rush of 1980 ... A housewife making E500,000 in a year from sand and cyanide ... A ghost town with just one inhabitant making E300 a day ... A father and son making an unusual discovery with a metal detector ... It's all to do with gold fever and the rush along Western Australia's Golden Mile - once the richest few acres of gold-bearing country in the world. This is the behind-the-headlines story of the effect that record world bullion prices had on the old goldfields, mine-workings and prospectors in the Australian Outback.

Events in the life and work of Fred Dibnah the Bolton steeplejack

By night Fred works in his shed on his new steam engine. By day he spends more time than intended snooping round scrapyards for parts, pursued by despairing customers, including several vicars. For one he puts up a weathercock and is moved on the spire top to reflect on the afterlife where all pursuit shall end and the burden of toil shall cease and 'I'll be left alone with a pile of rusty steam engines and I shall just be free to get on with mending these ancient relics - for ever'.

The second of two programmes

How the news of the Nazi genocide policy was brought out of Germany, and the Allies' response. How much did the outside world know about the annihilation of the Jews of Europe? When did they know? What steps did they take to prevent its continuance?

The Allies - caught up in a desperate war of survival against Hitler's Germany - had little attention to spare for the increasing evidence of what was happening to Jews, evidence which was received mostly with disbelief and inaction. Using interviews with key participants, rarely-seen archive film, excerpts from the trial of Adolf Eichmann, photographs and memoranda that are only now available, the film charts the beginnings of the policy of mass extermination in Berlin in 1942 to the requests to bomb Auschwitz in 1944.
