'The Sail Beck Horseshoe' is not some sophisticated piece of equestrian equipment, but the route of one of the most demanding fell races in Britain. It's set in Buttermere in the Lake District, where David Bean, with BBC camera teams, records a race that is among the most strenuous in the athletics calendar.

Starring Doug McClure, Katharine Ross, Ricardo Montalban

6: Koalas-Out on a Limb The koala bear is loved worldwide for its cuddly image. But the 'bear' facts can be very misleading - the koala is not a bear, but a marsupial.
Once very numerous, it has become a rare sight nowadays, and one destined to become rarer still. This film from Australia made by LARRY ZETUN takes an in-depth look at the koala, and reveals that koalas are dying in their thousands, because of a condition closely related to venereal disease.
