In the small Norfolk town of Attleborough local experts like Mr Last the beekeeper, Mrs Dor rell the lacemaker and Miss Hull the football referee are all willing to teach others their skills. But until a recent survey was made, nobody had thought of asking them. Then in an unusual experiment the people of Attleborough were asked what they would like to teach - and to learn.

A series of six programmes in which British men and women recall their unusual or little known lives in uniform. 1: Soldiers of the Queen
Eye-witness accounts by two of the last surviving veterans of a war that was fought 80 years ago during the reign of Queen Victoria. Archie Bowers , 98, was in the West Kent Yeomanry with the RAMC. And William Bilham, 103, was in a private in the RAMC. As a background to their visual stories of the distant battles of the Boer War are war illustrators' pictures from The Sphere, The Graphic and The Illustrated London News.
Stephen Peet 's documentary memorably captured what must be among the last personal memories of an all-too-forgotten war of Empire space.

Ten films about development issues in India
6: With Our Own Hands
Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing cities in India. Something like half the city's population-over a million people -used to live in appalling slums. During the last 15 years, the city's Urban Community Development Programme-UCDPhas transformed conditions for Hyderabad slum dwellers by helping people to help themselves-the cobblers of Jagjivannagar, the carpenters of Ranganagar, the women of Bharatnagar.

with Montgomery Clift Eva Marie Saint continues a season of films starring Elizabeth Taylor
Against an epic portrayal of America in the turbulent 1860s, this lavish adventure film tells the story of John Shawnessy and of the two girls in his life-Nell Gaither and a beautiful New Orleans belle, Susanna Drake , whom he marries. The story begins with Abraham Lincoln 's election in 1860 and follows the abolitionist struggles up to America's devastating Civil War.
