Arthur Miller and "The Crucible": A dramatised documentary based on the appearance of playwright Arthur Miller before the Un-American Activities Committee in 1956, and revealing some of the parallels between his own trial and the theme of his play "The Crucible" with T. P. McKenna and Lyndon Brook
Producer Andrée Molyneux

Dramatised documentary based on the appearance of playwright Arthur Miller before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956.

On 18 May 1980 a young geologist radioed a warning. Moments later he was killed by an explosion more terrible than any seen in north west America. The volcanic blast of Mount St
Helens, that took his and 62 other lives, was 500 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb.
Throughout the summer Horizon followed the geologists as they landed their helicopters in the mouth of the crater, measuring scalding pumice and toxic gas. St Helens had caught them by surprise, but now they are collecting new evidence from a mountain that could go on erupting for 20 years. Narrator Ray Moore Spectacular footage

6: The Sicilian Fisherman
Ciccio Longo is now nearly 80 and has been fishing the Straits of Messina all his life. Here they kill swordfish and tuna with the harpoon. Ciccio's nickname is Piscibonu - the 'good fisherman'.
Piscibonu was once champion harpoonist, like his father and grandfather before him, and he is still out fishing most days from dawn until dusk. One day after an exciting chase they land three big tuna fish, the next day nothing.
His great love is the sea - 'It's like a woman. I want to embrace it' - but each year he catches fewer fish. The factory ships have begun to destroy Piscibonu's way of life. He accepts it with good humour - perhaps because he knows there is little he can do about it.

This week: a portrait of one of the most individual architectural talents America has produced. Bruce Goff discovered his vocation as a child in Tulsa, Oklahoma, drawing cathedrals and palaces on scraps of paper, and the innocence of those early visionary sketches is evident in all his later work-from the cathedral in Tulsa he designed at the age of 22 to his extraordinary domestic monuments built for the American householder. A friend and disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright, Goff continued to pioneer well into his 70s. Arena went with him to his native midwest to see some of his astonishingly varied and inventive commissions.
