'Before I'm through with you, you're gonna move like one man and think like one man', declares Sergeant Stryker to his young recruits in this stirring and dramatic account of the war in the Pacific. The heroic attack by the Marines on the strongly defended island of Iwo Jima affirms the integrity of the tough sergeant, with Wayne giving one of the finest performances of his career.

A series of six films 5:The Basques
In 1981 King Juan Carlos made a symbolic visit to Gernika, recognising the ancient Basque rights and liberties which Franco had so brutally removed. The oldest people in Europe, with a language unconnected to any other, once more enjoy their own administration. Yet one fifth of the population still vote for parties supporting separation from Spain, and the terrorist killings continue. The future of the Basque Nationalist Government depends on how successfully it can pacify the terrorists and placate Madrid. Devised, presented by George Reid

A Normal Face
'I don't know if it is artistry - we just try to make people, children, normal.' Paul Tessier is a remarkable French surgeon who has pioneered novel techniques of facial reconstructive surgery for patients whose faces are tragically deformed, either through birth defects or injury. He has developed unique methods of rebuilding the skull itself with bone grafts, and of operating around the eye sockets, where once surgery was thought too difficult and dangerous to attempt. 'He can give you' as one child's father says, 'a new face.'
This film traces the work of surgeons like Tessier and others who have followed him, as they use their skills to transform not only their patients' appearance, but their whole lives. One such patient is 11-year-old Danny [text removed], whom the cameras follow through the anxious days before, during and after the remarkable operation that is to give him, at last, a normal face.

A selection of the best in British boxing over the last two decades. Written and narrated by Harry Carpenter

To have one British welterweight of real world class is a time to savour in British boxing. Having two campaigning at the same time was a rare delight indeed. John H. Stracey was to win the world title and Dave 'Boy' Green came within a hair's breadth of following him.
