The guests at the Halfway House, an idyllic inn in the Welsh mountains, are all seeking peace of mind as well as a respite from the war. Preoccupied as they are with their personal problems, they nevertheless become aware of something very strange about the place.

The tenth of 15 programmes
Presented by Jonathan Miller
Robert Hinde has spent most of his academic life at Cambridge studying the behaviour of birds and monkeys. More recently he has turned his attention to the more complex issue of human relationships. In this programme Professor Hinde, who remembers teaching Jonathan Miller in the early 1950s, explains why there has been this change of emphasis in his work.

(1833-1897) -
A Musical Journey
First of eight programmes celebrating the 150th anniversary of Brahms's birth on 7 May 1833.
This film retraces the towns and countryside where Brahms grew up, and finds much of what he loved still unchanged.
A complex character emerges-a devout Protestant living a modest frugal existence, a man who could fall in love but who remained unmarried, often ignored or badly treated by his contemporaries, a man of wit, bad temper, kindness and modesty, but above all a composer of genius who stood at the end of a classical tradition and among the great romantics. Introduced and narrated by Richard Baker
Artists in excerpts of Brahms's music include MICHEL BEROFF
CHRISTIAN FERRAS , BERNARD HAITINK HANS HOTTER , EUGEN JOCHUM
HERBERT VON KARAJAN , ZUBIN MEHTA RAFAEL KUBELICK , LEONARD ROSE GENNADI ROZHDESTVENSKY
