Four films reporting on the people, problems and potential of the world's fifth-largest country.
3: Water, Land and Survival The north east of Brazil has suffered 12 droughts in this century alone. With a population of 35 million, it has the highest levels of unemployment and infant mortality in Brazil.

Howard Hamilton may be an eminent barrister but he is an appalling husband. His first wife divorced him, his second walked out. Blithely unaware that he is the biggest male chauvinist of all time, he considers the fair sex is anything but fair.
Emma Maitland feels much the same way about men, but she needs a barrister - and a job.

A series of films about the way we live now.
Our Man in Shanghai Trevor Mound, 54, ex-paratrooper, 17 years a diplomat and an old China hand, has just been appointed Her Majesty's 13th Consul-
General in Shanghai. He's to re-open a post in China's largest city, closed since Mao's victory in 1949. This film, a unique insight behind the scenes of diplomatic life, follows Our Man in Shanghai's first days in his new job.
Within 24 hours of Trevor
Mound's arrival a trade delegation, led by Cabinet
Minister Lord Young, is due. Promoting British interests, especially trade, is Trevor's main task. He has to find his way round the complexities of Chinese protocol - and round Shanghai itself, in a deerstalker and on a bicycle. His discoveries include the only performing panda in the world.
