The Men's Downhill and Men's Slalom from Wengen
For the world's top ski racers a magical mountain railway journey to the roof of the Bernese Alps before the exhilaration of an 80mph battle of skill and stamina on the longest downhill course in the World Cup calendar -the Lauberhorn. Last year's dramatic race saw Californian BILL
JOHNSON reach the first rung on his Olympic ladder from a start number of 21, but his remarkable victory was almost eclipsed by Austria's ANTON STEINER who finished only eleven-hundredths of a second slower, wearing number 59.

Harold Williamson presents another film about people determined to achieve a personal goal.
Dennis and Julia Bingham are never more alive than when they're hurtling around at 140 miles-per-hour in a bid to make racing history - the first husband-and-wife team to win the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy sidecar race.
For the past two years the Binghams have had to settle for second place in this most dangerous road race so this summer they were determined make it 'third time lucky.'

Water -A Fresh Look
Shooting rapids without a kayak, playing with some hefty manatees and feeding piranhas by hand! These are the extraordinary activities of an ordinary German businessman Walter Sigl , whose modest manner hides a spirit of daring and determination.
His objectives: to film in the relatively unfilmed world of fresh water. This he has done with camera equipment which may seem ordinary too, but the results he achieves are a glorious pictorial celebration of the Orinoco river in Venezuela, strange lakes in Germany and crystal-clear springs in Florida. Narrators Barry Paine and Walter Sigl Film editor PETER ULE

Starring Julie Walters
Written by Ken Campbell

Mavis's plight will ring a bell in the heart of anyone who ever felt like murdering a telephone. Is some ghoulish mind behind the increasingly mysterious and sinister calls she gets? Is it madness or the system, or a joke that's bigger than all of us?

Julie Walters plays Mavis in her first major screen role since Educating Rita.
