A series of six programmes on communicating
1:No Man is an Island
Civilisation has only become possible by the improvements in human communication.
Life itself, our very existence, would fail without communication, since no man can be entirely independent of others.
Professor David Pye presents the 156th series of these lectures. With a variety of demonstrations and experiments, he explores how humans use their senses, sometimes with the help of technology, to send and receive messages.

'Are you a Racist?' and 'Are you a Victim of Racism? were advertisements placed by Horizon in the national and local press last summer.
From hundreds of replies four white racists and four black victims of racism were found who were willing to spend five days in an isolated house in Devon.
They agreed to be filmed as they lived together, cooked together and talked together. They investigated each other's prejudice, probed their fears and showed their pain.
The result is a powerful exploration of one of Britain's major social issues.
