The story of Chris Bonington 's 1975 expedition. Just ten years ago the news came through from
Kathmandu that a British
Expedition had conquered the 'last great mountaineering challenge', the south-west face of Everest. Forty-eight hours later, the triumph was marred by the death of cameraman Mick Burke on the second summit assault. This is a revised version of the historic film of the climb, which was the BBC entry for the Italia Prize and won wide critical acclaim.

A view of world history in 13 parts by JOHN ROBERTS
2: A New Direction
Western civilisation changed the world.
But what is the West? What are the myths, the ideas that shaped it?
John Roberts explores the roots of Western civilisation in the ancient Mediterranean world of Greece and Rome. He describes how a small
Jewish sect developed into
Christianity, a world-shaping force;'... wherever
Christianity has gone it has mingled with, challenged, confused, destroyed other beliefs.' In a secular age these values are still at work: not least in the secular faith of Marxism.'... Marx believed in God but called him History.' Ironically the revolutionary masses of Asia and Africa look to Marx in order to shake off Western domination.
