The Miracle of Life
All of us are here because of a commonplace, and yet quite extraordinary, event-the coming together of a human egg and sperm to create a new human being. Yet until recently, that process had never been seen in all its extraordinary detail. This film reveals what goes on inside the human body, as it traces the events that lead to conception and birth. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
Horizon editor GRAHAM MASSEY

The first episode in the Bayreuth production of The Ring of the Nibelung, by Richard Wagner , divided into ten weekly parts and broadcast simultaneously by Radio 3 in stereo.
This Ring is absolutely essential viewing ... in every way a milestone ... an overwhelming experience. (RODNEY MILNES In this vast Prologue, Wagner sets the scene for the human drama to follow.
The Nibelung dwarf Alberich renounces love, steals the precious gold from the Rhinemaidens and fashions from it a magic ring. The ruler of the gods, Wotan, covets the ring for the power it represents but is forced in turn to yield it to the giants. The violent struggle for world domination depicted in The Ring is under way.
Patrice Chéreau challenging Bayreuth production provides a striking new interpretation of a century-old masterpiece, one of the wonders of western civilisation. The Rhinemaidens

An aircraft mysteriously crash-lands on a deserted island. Its passengers are 40 English schoolboys being evacuated from an impending nuclear war. At first the boys. finding themselves totally isolated, attempt to maintain a ' Civilised society. Gradually fear and loneliness take hold and warring factions spring up, most especially between Ralph, the elected leader, and Jack, his arch rival.
William Golding 's modern classic has been vividly transferred to the screen in a powerful, even horrifying, parable of man's inherently dual nature. It remains one of the most original British films of the 60s. Shot on location on a Puerto Rican island, it uses a non-professional cast of English schoolboys.
Based on the novel by WILLIAM GOLDING
Produced by LEWIS ALLEN Directed by PETER BROOK
