'For days you couldn't really talk about it - you just waved your medal at people.' So
Lt-Col Sir Harry Llewellyn remembered bringing home

When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries English church art suffered a severe setback. In its place came private patrons needing paintings of their gardens, their animals, as well as of the dramas of everyday life. Edwin Mullins discusses

The Men's Downhill and Men's Slalom from St Anton
This picturesque Tyrolean resort is now a stop-over point for the rejuvenated
Orient Express on its route over the Arlberg Pass to
Venice. But this weekend all eyes here will be focused on 27-year-old downhiller PETER WIRNSBERGER , the odds-on favourite. Cause for local celebration in slalom, however, looks remote, for Austrian-born World Cup champion MARC GIRARDELLI now flies the flag for Luxemburg instead.
David Vine reports on this 51st series of Arlberg-Kandahar races.

Masked Monkeys
Punkish crests, bandit masks and orange noses are the disguises of guenons - an extraordinary group of African forest monkeys.
Intriguingly, their colourful faces and rumps and their haunting trills and hoots are an evolutionary puzzle.
Theirs was an ancient take-over bid for the tree-tops of Africa's tropical forest.
But who is really top of the primate tree - them or us? Artist and zoologist
Jonathan Kingdon looks at the forest monkeys and apes, including the chimpanzee, and unravels the mystery of who comes first.

Eleventh in a series of12films about life in the Soviet Union Baltic Chic
Krista Kajandu is the chief designer at the Tallinn
Fashion House in the Soviet
Republic of Estonia. For most of the time Krista and her team have to churn out designs for mass production. But twice a year they get the chance to forget the Plan and exercise their imagination on creations for the Tallinn Fashion Show.
Tallinn is only 50 miles from Helsinki across the Baltic Sea. Its people are more western-minded than most in the Soviet Union. And there's a strong flavour of national pride as the film follows
Krista and her top designer, the flamboyant Leonid Girin , through the busy period leading up to and including the Spring Collection 1985. Photography ALEX HANSEN Sound FRED CLARK

The third of ten films about contemporary architecture
Islam: The Search for Identity The newly-acquired oil wealth has brought an unprecedented boom to the Middle East and, as a consequence, a massive programme of new buildings. At first the Arabs looked to the West, at a time when architecture there had reached its worst phase in history. They imported a style that totally ignored climate and traditions.
This programme looks at Kuwait, Doha and Jeddah where signs of an Islamic contemporary architecture are now emerging. The State Mosque in Kuwait, the University of Qatar and the Suleiman Palace in Saudi
Arabia were all built by Arab architects. The new
Parliament Building by Utzon, the spectacular Haj
Terminal by SOM show that
Western architecture can give a feeling of place.
Sheikha Hussa (daughter of the Emir of Kuwait), Sheikh Farsi
(Mayor of Jeddah), Egyptian architects Kamal El Kafrawi and Abdel El Wakil are all working towards an Arab identity based on tradition. Narrator Andrew Sachs
