Six films of early exploration introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by the pioneer polar explorer Duncan Carse.
4: Red Indian Shadow-Catcher (1896-1930)
'The most spectacular ritual of the Hopi Indians is their Snake Dance, employing live rattlesnakes, and I became obsessed with the idea of participating.... I followed the dancer four times around the plaza, cast my snake aside, and received the next snake for a continuation of the dance....'
So the pioneer American photographer, anthropologist and explorer Edward Curtis describes one of the most dangerous incidents in his life-work of chronicling the vanishing customs and ways of life of the American Indian. This film is the spectacular story of that work.

Time to sow early peas, broad beans, onions and others. Last year the organic trial was decimated by rabbits; this year the plots, well protected, will show the advantages and disadvantages of gardening without sprays and inorganic chemicals. Growing trees from seed is a long-term project, but very satisfying. Removing the stumps of old trees is not so much fun, but needn't be back-breaking. Production assistant CHRISTINE HARDMAN

To find out if a real-life love story can be as romantic as anything a writer could dream up, the magazine True Romances asked its readers to write in with their own stories. The three finalists are brought to London and interviewed.
Will the winners be Wendy and Steve - who met on holiday near Blackpool? Or
Karen and Nigel, both still in their teens? Or Jeannette and John, telephonist and telephone engineer?
For the winning couple there's a glamorous round of make-up sessions, photo-calls and press receptions. But the course of true romance never did run smooth ... Director ANN LALIC
