Chris Serle discovers some of those glorious golden moments from the largest film and videotape library in the world. This week Chris and the team discover that there's love and romance in the archives. There's Wildlife on One for two hedgehogs, a honeymoon hotel from Twenty-Four Hours, and heartache for The Black Adder. You can find out about love from Pinky and Perky, romance from The Frost Report, and guest Claire Rayner talks about a relationship with her husband that's Till Death Us Do Part. There's even a bit of necking from The Family of Man that finds a New Guinea girl a husband. All you need is Windmill - love and romance are all you need.

The Desire of the Moth
The largest known moth in the world has wings the size of a dove, the smallest lives inside a leaf. Although they are creatures of darkness, the bizarre designs and garish colours of moths rival those of butterflies in the hide-and-seek game of life. Among the stories of their double lives are tales of heroes that rescued Queensland from the prickly pear, blizzards of bogongs that were a summer feast for the first Australians, and the story of that irresistible desire that draws the moth to the flame and sudden death.

The fifth of 12 films about life in the Soviet Union.
October Harvest
Mariya Kulinich is 78. She has lived in the same peasant village through revolution, civil war, famine and Stalin's collectivisation programme. Through it all she has kept her Christian faith and her loyalty to the old customs of the Russian countryside.
Her three sons also live on the October collective farm. At harvest time they are at their busiest, for the state - and for themselves. Some private enterprise is now allowed, and this 'Leninism with loopholes' helps pay for their long-awaited new car. Photography REX MAIDMENT Sound MICHAEL TURNER

"Everyone's a friend of someone, Although it's plain to see, That every friend has got a friend, Who's not a friend of me."
Roger McGough writes and narrates the thoughts of a lonely boy looking for a friend in his new school. All around he sees friends and friendships, acted out by pupils of Speke
Comprehensive School. What with the betrayals, the jealousies and treacheries, it's not always an idealistic view of friendship but any friend is better than none if your feelings can be summed up like this:
"I'm boots without laces, I'm jeans without the zip, I'm lost, I'm a zombie, I'm a dislocated hip."

Juliet has come in search of a new life with her small son and finds the place less sympathetic than she had bargained for.... This lively comedy takes the lid off
