Douglas Mawson - The Survivor
In the mythology of the courageous men who have explored the Antarctic, Sir Douglas Mawson ranks with Scott, Amundsen and Shackleton. Somehow his exploits have never made the same impact on the British public. Yet in Australia and New Zealand from where his expeditions set off, he is a national hero. Tonight The World About Us celebrates his major expedition which began in 1911. The programme uses some of the earliest polar film footage ever shot to show the first stages of the venture; then it moves into dramatic reconstruction based on his diaries to tell a story of human agony and survival in a setting of cold, savage beauty.

Five portraits of an inner city 1: The Blight
Reporter Eric Robson
In one square mile, the East End of Glasgow contains some of the most severe urban problems in Britain. E200 million has been spent trying to revive the area-but according to East Enders like Jimmy Grimes , ' They've turned it into a graveyard. I preferred the slums ... at least there was a certain amount of friendship.
Professor David Donnison has been given the job of summing up attempts at urban renewal. He says: ' We have created a kind of Ciknnin ' A
Siberia'.

starring
Myrtle Gordon is a beautiful, famous and wealthy actress. During rehearsals for her latest play she witnesses the accidental death of an adoring young fan. The event, combined with the traumas of rehearsal, pushes her into a state of near-breakdown.
The film brilliantly evokes the tensions and back-stage dramas that precede a first night, interwoven with a deeply-moving portrait of a vulnerable actress at a crisis in her career and life. Gena Rowlands gives one of the screen's greatest performances in the central role.
