As an international negotiator, Terry Waite , the Archbishop of Canterbury's Special Envoy, hears passionate views from powerful people. His home territory is the north west, which has bred and attracted many people with strong, provocative ideas.
The Rt Hon Lord Wilson of Rievaulx once described himself as 'the cat who walks alone'. He was a north west MP for 38 years and led the Labour Party to victory in four general elections. Yet, ten years after he resigned as Prime Minister, he remains a political enigma. Director ALF BATES

Narrated by Desmond Morris Passionate in their greed for Power, intriguing in their sexual behaviour, chimpanzees are often surprisingly ingenious in their use of tools. This film is a remarkable record of a colony of chimps established under scientific scrutiny in Burger's Zoo, Arnhem,
Holland. With their lives in full view, the film captures the language and politics of ape society.

The Story of Britain's Royal Builders and Collectors
Told in ten parts by Huw Wheldon
The Tudors reigned over one of the most remarkable Periods of this nation's history. It was a century when the language itself, no less than the buildings, the music and the artefacts, moved from the medieval into the modern world. The Court was the centre of patronage in all the arts and the age was dominated by three outstanding monarchs: Henry VII, the founder of the dynasty; Henry VIII, probably the most gifted king ever to sit upon the throne; and Elizabeth I, the extraordinary daughter of an extraordinary father. Some of the glories of the Royal Collection savoured by Sir Huw Wheldon: the Portraits of Holbein, the miniatures and jewels, and the magnificent buildings, including the Palaces of St James and Hampton Court.

Two partisan views of a controversial issue
Pornography: the Right to Choose
This contentious issue is the subject of two films, one made under the editorial control of art historian and lecturer Peter Webb , and the other under the editorial control of writer Jackie Kay and theatre director Nancy Diuguid.
'Pornography can have a real value. It may be offensive to some, but that isn't the issue. The issue is, will it benefit those who desire to see it and those of us who work in this field are very clear that it does.'
(MAURICE YAFFE , clinical psychologist)
'Pornography is violence against women. Society promotes it by showing women in films, videos, magazines, art and literature being raped, mutilated and made into objects for entertainment.'
