Narrated by Jeffery Boswall
Who are the wildlife winners - the fastest sprinters, the speediest swimmers, the highest jumpers. the best boxers, the finest gymnasts? This programme presents the superlative physical feats of the animal world, and reveals the 'how' and the 'why' of their extraordinary prowess. In the human games the fastest and the strongest sportspeople in the world challenge the barriers of physical skill. But even the record breakers among them produce puny performances beside the champions of the animal kingdom.

by Dean Rusk
DEAN RUSK is remembered by most Americans as the Secretary of State who for eight years was saddled with the bitter conflict of the war in Vietnam. In a series of four exclusive interviews, he talks to Kenneth Harris about the role America and he played in foreign affairs over the last 50 years.
Born a poor farm boy in the deep South of the United States, he reflects on coming to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in the 1930s, his war-time service in India under Mountbatten's command, the start of the Cold War, and the McCarthy witch-hunts of the 1950s. From first-hand knowledge he relates how the war in Korea started and, when Britain thought that the USA intended to end the war in Korea by using the atomic bomb, Prime Minister Attlee dashed to see President Truman in the White House.

Nine programmes from the BAFTA award-winning documentary series Circuit Eleven Miami.
4: In Britain today support outside Parliament for the resumption of hanging has strengthened. Four years ago in Florida the same process was at work-in 1979 the first murderer for 15 years was strapped into the electric chair. Florida's electric chair was made in 1924 out of local wood by the prisoners themselves. They call it ' Old Sparky But Old Sparky ' had not been used for 15 years, and more than 130 prisoners had built up on the Death Row of Florida's State Penitentiary.
So when JUDGE FULLER, filmed in his courtroom, intoned the awe-some formula of death on mass murderer John Errol Ferguson in 1978, there was something almost academic about the sentence ... Except that change was in the air, in the form of a new Governor. elected on a mandate to tighten up on law and order. In Florida, as here, the issue of capital punishment divides. In the abolition lobby stands paradoxically a man who has signed more death warrants than any other Florida Governor - EX-GOVERNOR COLLINS. On the other side is a man who considers the process humane and dignified - ' Mr Mac *, retired PRISON INSPECTOR MCCLENDON - who has officiated at 114 electrocutions, more than any other living American.
