Four professional artists create pictures under the eye of the camera and talk about the material for which they have not only a need, but a passion - paint.
Elizabeth Blackadder (watercolour): 'It's just a feeling of the paint itself, the "stuff" of paint, the transparency of watercolour ...'
Bert Irvin (acrylic): 'I love the feel of paint, I mean there is a sense in which every painting is a celebration and the paint is a means to the end.'
Robin Philipson (oil colour): 'Paint can almost find its way from the brush on to the canvas because the touch is so light....'
David Tindle (egg tempera): 'Everybody says "why do you paint in tempera?" - because I love the dry pigment-it actually gets me going ...'

Feature film starring Keith Michell Donald Pleasence
Charlotte Rampling
As King Henry VIII lies dying he looks back over his life, the pivot of a rich, rumbustious and romantic period of English history. In spite of his many marriages and crowded court, Henry remained essentially lonely: Keith Michell 's critically acclaimed performance shows that underneath the gluttonous and gloating monarch lived a sensitive and sensual man.

A series of personal views from the Third World
The Hidden Holocaust
'They tied people together and set fire to them. They cut off the children's heads and threw them in a ditch,' says a Guatemalan Indian refugee, describing a recent massacre. Tens of thousands of Indians have been killed in Guatemala in the past five years, according to Human Rights agencies. Fr Luis Gurriaran , a Catholic priest, tells the story of the Indians. He worked in the highlands of Guatemala for more than 20 years, but was forced into exile when his life too was threatened by the authorities. He sees Guatemala as a country ruled by a rich and powerful elite determined to resist social change. The Indians are very poor, and those who complain or try to change their poverty are labelled 'Communists' and killed.
FR GURRIARAN calls the repression of Guatemala's Indians a 'hidden holocaust'.
