A series of six films on the growth of the new nationalism in Europe. 3: The Valdotains
Val d'Aosta is one of the accidents of high diplomacy. It is French-speaking, but became part of a united Italy in 1860. Although allied with the French Maquis against Fascism, the Valdotains were made to remain Italian after World War II. They have local autonomy and official bilingualism, but successive waves of immigrant workers from the south carry a greater threat than Mussolini's army. Series devised and presented by George Reid

Conquest of the Parasites
Some grow 40ft long, others are as small as a blood cell. They're parasites -the most selfish and perhaps the most ingenious creatures nature has created. Selfish because they invade and live off another creature like man. Ingenious because they have all kinds of tricks to avoid being rejected by our body's immune system. One kind keeps changing its coating to evade capture; another can make itself invisible; others find special hiding-places out of the reach of the body's defence mechanisms. But now, after decades of neglect, science is fighting back against these creatures which afflict billions of people in the tropics with diseases like malaria, bilharzia and river blindness. Using the most modern techniques of molecular biology and genetic engineering scientists are trying to make special vaccines to remove the scourge. But their valiant efforts may come to nothing - not just because the parasites are too clever, but because of lack of cash and interest on the part of the West. Narrator Peter France

In action: JOHN CONTEH
CHRIS FINNEGAN and LONNIE BENNETT 'Brilliant', 'outrageous', 'controversial', all have been applied to John Conteh but above all else he had 'star quality'. At Wembley in front of his own crowd he was always at his best. Against the courageous Chris Finnegan in that huge arena a great fight was in prospect.
Nobody was to be disappointed.
