Monsieur Hulot 's Work
Jacques Tati , who died last month, ranks with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton as one of the greatest comedians of the cinema. His immortal creation, Monsieur Hulot , first seen in Monsieur Hulot 's Holiday, was to stumble and bumble for 30 years through an increasingly alien modern world, trailing in his wake his own unique brand of disruptive chaos. All Tati's five films are featured in this unique documentary, in which he talked to Gavin Millar about his work.

Stranded
Why is it that whales, dolphins and porpoises, accomplished swimmers and such sophisticated navigators and communicators, are sometimes found stranded, dead or alive, on the sea-shore?
Strandings occur worldwide and are more common around our shores than we might think: up to 80 strandings each year, especially between autumn and spring. For this reason alone we need to know more about these apparent mass suicides and, most important of all, to discover how we can help these magnificent creatures to return to the ocean.

continues a major season of recent American movies, tonight starring James Caan , Robert Duvall
In San Francisco Com-Teg handles the jobs too dirty even for the CIA. One of their top men, Mike Locken , is deliberately shot and crippled on orders from his division chief. Mike refuses to accept his enforced retirement and struggles back to strength-with a revenge mission in mind. This characteristically cynical movie by director Sam Peckinpah enacts a vivid portrait of ' law and order' from behind the scenes. It builds up to a brilliantly staged climax where martial arts meet high technology weapons in one of the screen's most exciting battles.
Screenplay by MARC NORMAN and STIRLING SILLlPIJANT from the novel by ROBERT Rostand
Produced by martin baum , ARTHUR lewis Directed by SAM peckinpah. Films: p 13 (First showing on British television)
