The scene: Earlshall, a castle in Fife.

Our sense of humour baffles foreigners, our politics bother them, our preoccupation with tradition bemuses them. And as to our attitude toward sex-c'est hardly 'formidable'. Tonight, and for the next five weeks, Derek Jameson looks at the way foreign television reports on the British.
Apparently we don't wash, we don't know how to bring up our children, and we are morose and miserable even on holiday. On the other hand, we are always polite, we are kind to animals, and we would be great in a crisis - if we knew one when we saw one. Derek Jameson , of course, brings his own special wit to bear on interpreting all these eccentric foreign reporters.... Research MARK ROGERS

5: A Most Reluctant Witness 'The last war to end war finished in 1945 with an atomic bang in Japan. And the war to end wars was followed by countless last wars all over the world, of very little importance to anyone except the millions of forgotten people who died in them. And just possibly, some of us who were paid to report them, the unarmed mercenaries who wrote the stories of other men's despair.'
This week the wheel comes full circle. James Cameron returns to his days as a war correspondent, and questions man's obsession with conflict.
For him - the beginning; for man - the end of innocence. Videotape editor ANDY QUESTED Film editor DAVID LEE
