In this week's exploration into BBCtv's film and videotape library
Chris Serle discovers - childhood. Find out what it was like to go Back to School in 1949, and in Special Enquiry how cold a 1955 classroom could get.
Joyce Grenfell as the classic school mistress explains to George that we don't do that, while Richard Dimbleby finds out what else we don't do at Marlborough College, in Portrait of a Public School, 1954. There's early children's viewing with Rag, Tag and Bobtail, Mr Pastry and Whacko, with a whistle in the dark from the Clangers. There's star guest Richard Stilgoe with a feast of memories of childhood, not forgetting Billy Bunter of Greyfriars with a feast of his own.

Jonathan Miller talks to eminent psychologists - 12 people who contribute in very different ways to our understanding of the human mind.
Although psychoanalysis is usually associated with the work of Sigmund Freud , a number of psychologists have found themselves in disagreement with certain aspects of Freudian theory, and have developed their own 'variant' forms of analytic treatment. In this country the work of Melanie Klein , who became convinced of the importance of experiences in the first year of life, has been particularly influential.
Dr Hanna Segal , an analyst who worked closely with Melanie Klein , explains the basis of Kleinian analysis. Production

The Forgotten Garden
Once glorious with exotic blooms, an abandoned Oxfordshire garden is repossessed by nature. The gardener has gone and in his absence the manicured lawn, borders, and trellises have been choked by a jungle of bindweed, nettles and ivy. But there is order here - no plagues of pests as predators and prey exist in uneasy harmony. Unsprayed and unharmed, new life flourishes. Spindly harvestmen, designed to inspire the creators of science fantasy, forage for carrion, wasps construct paper nests, slow-worms engage in sinuous embrace, and bank voles play hide-and-seek with the farm cat.

Ninth in a series of 12 films about life in the Soviet Union. Sumgait Strikers
Ragim Magerramov is the trainer of the strikers at the Lenin Pipe Rolling Mill - on the pitch, that is, not the picket line. For despite the harsh conditions in the factory, industrial action in the Soviet Union is virtually unheard of. Here the unions are busy providing a variety of services for the workers, among which the football club is extremely popular.
The film follows the lives of the trainer and his team at work, at home and in their struggle to wrest the Sumgait Town Championship from the seemingly invincible men from the Synthetic Rubber Factory.

Screenplay by MICHAEL THOMAS
From the novel by JOHN BOWEN starring
Hatcher is a film critic and he's seen too many movies. So when he looks from his rear window and sees a blonde menacing the old lady opposite, it's all too familiar. He gets rapidly and fatally drawn into a mangled net of blackmail, violence and evil deeds in high places - just like the kind of film he loves reviewing. But this time the danger's all too real, or is it?
