Ten films in which Magnus Magnusson explores the Viking world. 6: Bitter is the Wind
Bitter is the wind tonight,
It tosses the ocean's white hair:
Tonight I fear not the fierce warriors of Norway
Coursing on the Irish Sea.
The Viking incursions around North Britain, the Isle of Man and Ireland, produced an urbanised and settled society with a culture which is still apparent.
MAGNUS MAGNUSSON follows the story of the Viking kingdoms of Dublin and York-the setting for the saga of the legendary Erik Bloodaxe - kingdoms both ruled and lost by the sword. This programme features the making of just such a sword.
With JOHN BENNETT , JEREMY KEMP

3: Wings Over Waziristan
In 1937, on the North-West Frontier, there was an uprising of Wazir tribesmen, led by the Fakir of Ipi. The British Army sent in columns of troops and the RAF went in as support. A young air force officer, Group Captain Robert Lister , who had just acquired a cine-camera, filmed these punitive operations both from the air and on the ground. This programme consists entirely of Lister's stories and unique film.

Ten films about development issues in India. 8: Made in India
Every third box of matches in the world is made in India. A quarter of these are made by one company,
Wimco; three-quarters in small factories where most of the workers are women and children, who is better off - Mr Goudha , who works for Wimco, or Sangareswary, who works in a small factory. Handloom weaving provides employment at home for more than five million people in the Indian countryside, but it has come under increasing pressure from machine-made cloth. What does that mean for handloom weavers like the Ayyavoos and the Nachimuthus?

Catherine Bramwell-Booth is the granddaughter of the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth. She was 100 years old recently. In this birthday conversation with Malcolm Muggeridge - himself now 80 - she expresses the wish that she might be allowed to live a little longer. Muggeridge, by contrast, feels that he's lived quite long enough.
