The Last Taboo
The last of four films meets undertaker Paul Mills and Dr Derek Doyle , of St Columba's Hospice in Edinburgh. But mainly it is about Scots actor Victor Carin , who faced up to his imminent death from cancer with inspiring courage, wit and cynicism.
Bernard Falk talked to VICTOR at home with his teenage daughter. KATE; in a monastery trying to find some peace of mind; and at the hospice where he finally died two years ago.

The last in the present season starring Warner Oland, Keye Luke ' Fortunately, assassination of French language not serious crime,' Chan comments. But murder certainly is and both Chan and his Number One son are soon buckling down to business. Sadly, this was Warner Oland's last appearance as the suave Chinese detective. He died the following year in 1938. Old friend, like old memory, live on in dreams.

Jacques-Henri Lartigue
This is the fourth in a series of six conversations with some of the grand old master photographers of this century.
The film shows 90-year-old Jacques-Henri Lartigue taking pictures for French Vogue .and yet he started to photograph over 80 years ago. Richard Avedon called Lartigue ' the most deceptively simple and penetrating photographer in the history of art '.
Talking to Peter Adam , Lartigue guides us through his photograph albums which are now kept in a French museum. They are a diary of a century -a record of a time now gone for ever, but preserved through the perception of a man whose sole aim was to capture the most enchanting moments of his life - the world of elegant fashion of the Belle Epoque, the excitement of the first cars and aeroplanes and the many artists of the 20s and 30s who were his friends.

A young woman is found murdered on the overnight express from Marseilles. As Grazzi of the Paris police tries to track down the people who travelled with her, it becomes apparent that someone else is hunting them, toe-the killer.
The first film by French director Costa-Gavras is a fast-moving police thriller in the taut style of American films of the 40s, but without the political overtones of the director's subsequent work.
Screenplay by costa-gavras based on the novel by Sebastian JAPRISOT
