Written by Stephen Kandel.
The classic space adventure series chronicling the exploits of the captain and crew of the USS Enterprise.
Starring William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, De Forrest Kelley as Dr McCoy.

The hijacked Enterprise is taken to an uncharted planet and becomes the price of a life of luxury with some ever solicitous androids. But it's no wonder that Kirk thinks twice, since the offer comes from the most incorrigible old rogue in the universe - Harcourt Fenton Mudd!

Aspects of War
This month's programme comes from the centre of Oxford where Peter France introduces three stories which have their roots deep in the confused and bewildering fortunes of the Boer War. In the first he outlines the way the images of the later, tragic stages of that conflict were captured by the newly-invented Box
Brownie camera which went to war for the first time in the knapsack of the ordinary soldier. In the second,
Christopher Andrew tells the still secret story of 'C', the first, eccentric head of the puny amateur organisation which was eventually to become the modern Secret
Intelligence Service. Finally, extracts from the diaries of THE REV ANDREW CLARK reveal the way the momentous events of the First World War touched and changed daily life in his tiny Essex village of Great Leighs.

The first in a new series of films about the way we live now.
In Between Days
A funny, touching film about being 16 - and enjoying it. In between childhood and growing up. In between 0-levels and results. A time of uncertainty and transition. Time to forget about school, relax, celebrate, have parties, laze the long summer away. 'School's out, man!' says
16-year-old Chris [text removed] to his younger brother. Now life for Chris is about being with his best friends Nick, Carolyn and Nikki. About writing his diary. About roaming around Newport Pagnell and Milton Keynes , thinking of the future, living for today. Title music CARL DAVIS Photography DICK POPE
