continues a season of religious films, tonight starring Tom Tryon as Stephen Fermoyle

From his ordination as a Roman Catholic priest in 1917, Stephen Fermoyle rises through the church to become a Cardinal on the eve of World War II. During the ceremony, he casts his mind back over the personal and professional conflicts of his life: the question of abortion, the denial of romantic love, the violence of racism and the evil of Hitler.
Otto Preminger's epic film is a bold and moving depiction of the church in a time of great political tension filmed in Boston, Vienna and Rome.

... of documentary Animal Antiques
Where have all the farm animals gone? Are there no cows left that are not the monochrome Freisian? What happened to the Longhorn, the all-purpose cow, which could plough as well as provide milk, the Gloucester Old Spot, the cottager's pig, that lived off scraps in the orchard, and the small compact Shetland sheep, that eats little and is good for crossing? They exist, thanks to a few farmers and small holders, whose dedication goes beyond simple nostalgia. For who can say that in the genes of rare breeds there may not lie a hidden potency - some immunity to disease perhaps, or a multi-purpose function that husbandry in years to come may need?
