Last of six programmes with Professor Colin Blakemore 6: The Enchanted Loom
The human brain with its 100,000 million nerve cells has a complexity and performance which, in nearly all respects, far exceeds the capacity of any computer. Such machines which have, it is true, good memories and the ability to perform prodigious feats of calculation, are actually simple-minded when it comes to interpreting visual images we can recognise at a glance. The brain is the most intricate, complex product of evolution: the Enchanted Loom as it has rightly been called.

In remembrance of Her Serene Highness
Princess Grace of Monaco
In 1977 documentary film maker Kevin Billington directed this sensitive, affectionate biography of Princess Grace. He could not have foreseen the now bitter irony of his opening-the famous car sequence from To Catch a Thief. Princess Grace talks about her life, her role as a wife and mother, and illuminates not only the well-known Hollywood days of stardom but also her early career as a model and as a television and stage performer.
Among the contributors are her husband Prince Rainier, James Stewart , Alfred Hitchcock , William Holden , Stanley Kramer and Raymond Massey.

A series of five programmes 1: Taking Shape
'Innocent, modest, instructive and agreeable', were the qualities expected of the readers of women's journals of the 18th century but, when Victoria became Queen, the magazines began to reflect a new narrow role for women -that of wife and mother, a recipe which became the standard formula for the successful mass circulation weeklies of the 1930s.
