1: Growing up in the streets of 17th century Paris was as much an education for Moliere-real name Jean-Baptiste Poquelin - as that provided by an eccentric priest.

A series of six films in which Dai Smith presents a fresh analysis of the Welsh.
3:Oh! What a Lovely Riot
Even today the events of 1910 in Tonypandy are capable of provoking bitter political arguments. The riots that broke out in the valley town have reverberated through generations. In particular, Winston Churchill has been reviled in South Wales for his role in the conflict. The film reveals the truth about Churchill's strategy and examines why the riots marked a turning-point in political and industrial history.

A series of 13 programmes which tell the story of the theatre, written and presented by Ronald Harwood 7:The Vices of Mankind
The 17th century saw the golden age of French drama - a glittering period with Moliere sharply observing and caricaturing the society that came to watch his comedies, Corneille breaking the rigidity of the past, Racine perfecting the classical rules and producing the first great part for a woman played by a woman on the stage.
The spirit of this brilliant time is evoked at the Comedie Francaise and with extracts from such masterpieces as Le Cid, L'Impromptu de Versailles and Tartuffe specially performed in a reconstructed Tennis Court Theatre. Those taking part include:
Claude Winter , Simon Callow Zoe Wanamaker
Edward Petherbridge
