Maggie Philbin and John Craven ask why people love to be terrified on fairground rides. There are Meccano merry-go-rounds, plastic dodgems, do-it-yourself digital pictures and a berserk computer that claps the star investigator behind bars.
Or is that an illusion?

The hero of this Hungarian film is trying to take it easy, but a creaking wardrobe door interferes with his relaxation.

Produced by Pannonia Film studio

Six films about people determined to defend historic buildings against the destructive effects of social change and market forces.
Defence of the Realm
Portsmouth Dockyard, with its ring of massive

The first of six musical journeys in which film and stage star Chaim Topol revisits his native Israel.
Part documentary and part entertainment, the series joins Topol on the closing night of his triumphant
West End revival of Fiddler on the Roof, and follows him to Tel Aviv, the city which has always been his home.
Week by week Topol reflects on his experiences as a child of Israel - his memories of family life in an immigrant quarter, of the Exodus operation, his pioneering days on a Kibbutz, his days as an entertainer in an army troupe.
His travels range from the Galilee to the Red Sea, from Jerusalem to Jaffa, and from the Lebanon to Eilat, and on his way he meets an array of friends from every walk of Israeli life.

The last part of a trilogy by John Hawkesworth
Starring Michael Gambon as Oscar Wilde

Following the sensational trials, and to the delight of the public and press, Oscar Wilde, found guilty of acts of gross indecency with various male persons, was incarcerated in Pentonville Prison in May 1895 to serve a sentence of two years' hard labour - an experience which would later produce one of his best known works, The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

... of documentary. A series of films portraying issues, institutions and individuals. Union Street
It is the thoroughfare that links sober, respectable
Plymouth with Royal Naval Devonport, and it is known with affection all over the world. Even in Hong Kong or San Francisco mention of Union Street will ignite a twinkle in a sailor's eye.
For Union Street represents the older traditions of Plymouth. Before naval ratings got caught up in 0- and A-levels, it was where Jack went for his run ashore, and it was where the pubs and clubs and girls of the town were waiting to part him from his money. There used to be a railway bridge over Union Street just where it meets Plymouth proper.
Respectable people never went under that bridge.
Today the bridge has been demolished - and buried in the dust and rubble went much of the street's lurid past. But a flavour of the old days still remains - enough to glimpse a fleeting shadow of what was once the Reeperbahn of the Devon Riviera. Film cameramen
