Sets at Covent Garden, a new book on stage design and an exhibition of photographs at the Hayward Gallery - three events in the busy autumn schedule of probably Britain's most popular painter. DAVID HOCKNEY 's lifestyle and the ensuing publicity sometimes make people forget that behind his colourful personality is a committed artist. This highly praised film eavesdrops in Los Angeles and London as he designs sets, paints, draws and takes photographs.

The last of a three-part natural history of the Wild West. Narrated by Barry Paine The Price of Gold
Gold. oil, fertile soil. sun, spectacular scenery. Few places on earth are as lavishly endowed with natural riches as the state of California. They occur because of the strange way land was added to the North American continent from beneath the Pacific and from Mexico.
For the Indians of the North West there was bountiful food and shelter. For the Forty-niners the gold was worth 81 million dollars a year. But every time the Pacific ' plate' of the earth's crust jerks past the continent there is an earthquake. This is the price Californians pay for their gold.
This episode shows both the causes and the consequences of the next great earthquake on the San Andreas fault. A quake which geologists believe will happen to the east of Los Angeles, and which could be the greatest disaster to hit the United States since the Civil War.
