In the last of this season of John Wayne films, the man of action plays one of three outlaws, running from a sheriff, who come upon a dying mother and her baby in the desert. The woman begs them to take care of her child, and, like three travellers 2,000 years before, they set off for Jerusalem - or rather New Jerusalem, Arizona.

A series of eight programmes

Novelist and playwright Beryl Bainbridge makes a journey around England and Englishness. She travels to many of the places visited by J.B. Priestley 50 years earlier for his book "English Journey".
She finds Birmingham a city planned not for people but for cars, and a few echoes of old human values at Bournville. The Cotswolds remain locked in the tourist time-warp of Ye Olde England.

If a great fight is one that sticks in the memory, then the fights featured tonight must surely deserve that accolade. From time immemorial if the crowd thought the fighters had given above and beyond their expectations they threw money into the ring at the end of the fight. All the fighters in this final programme rightly deserved 'the nobbins'.
