The feature film starring Peter Ustinov
Sandra Dee , John Gavin
This sparkling adaptation of Ustinov's stage success mixes laughter, romance and some rather eccentric politics in its story, loosely inspired by Shakespeare's play. But here the setting is Concordia and the rival 'families' are the Soviet Union and the USA.

The last of the present series
Cecil Collins - Fools and Angels Cecil Collins is a visionary artist who has followed a lonely path outside mainstream modern art and its fads and fashions. His vision is now increasingly recognised, especially by many of the younger generation, on whom his work has made a deep impression.
Collins believes the sacred purpose of the artist is to remind mankind of a world above and beyond our everyday preoccupations. He paints images of the paradise he feels we have lost in a blind drive for technological mastery over nature.
Living with a vision is very difficult, but living without a vision is worse.'

continues a major season of films new to television. starring Robert Thompson Susan Penhaligon Robert Helpmann
Comatose since his mother's 'accidental' death from an electrical shock, 24-year-old Patrick is confined to his bed in a second-rate hospital. The only person who shows him any sympathy is his new nurse, Kathy, who begins to see that Patrick has strange powers. As Patrick's 'force' increases he dominates the hospital and the callous Dr Roget in a climax at once terrifying and bizarre.
