Maori - the New Dawn Reporter Michael Dean New Zealand's Maoris have always had a cosy image abroad but it's one they have come to resent. They never were the happily integrated minority of popular legend and now, in the 1980s, as their white-dominated society begins to falter in the grip of long recession, Maoris are beginning to assert themselves.
Michael Dean , a New Zealander himself, reports on what Maoris believe is a new dawn in the land that for a thousand years was theirs alone.

A six-part dramatisation of the life, work and ideas of Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis.
Written by Carey Harrison
Starring David Suchet as Sigmund Freud
Vienna 1891. Now set up in practice at 19 Berggasse, Freud is enthralled by the revelations of his patients which relate, invariably, to matters sexual - a theory of neurosis begins to evolve. Breuer's cautious reaction threatens their collaboration, driving Sigmund to an intense new friendship with Wilhelm Fliess whose radical thinking matches that of his own.
