A semi-detached in Harrow
'I object to the label
"semi-detached suburbia". It implies I'm some sort of cardboard cut-out. This is nonsense. If you look at this road every house is different.' Bill Johnson still lives in the house he grew up in. His father had it built in 1924 during the Metroland boom. He and his wife Elsie have brought up a family who now regularly return home with their children. They have never wanted to move. (R)

Miss Poland 85 in the Palace of Culture and Science
Emotions run high about this beauty contest in the Soviet bloc. There are hints of scandal, favouritism, walk-outs and secret trysts. It's Magda's last chance - next year she'll be too old to compete. Her mother borrowed from the factory to pay for the dresses and the hotel bill. If she gets to the final she stands a chance of winning a VW Golf Turbo - beyond the dreams of most Poles. Sylvia put off her marriage to enter the contest. But she's broken the rules. Will she be allowed to join the 25 finalists?

The Arctic - a huge and largely unspoilt wilderness of exceptional beauty - still teems with wildlife. The traditional skills of the early Eskimo hunters enabled them to survive in the Arctic without squandering its wildlife. But today snowmobiles and rifles have almost replaced huskies and harpoons, and the Eskimo people now share their harsh domain with oil-men, miners and scientists. Will the rich reserves of oil and minerals be extracted without pollution? And can animals like whales, caribou, musk-oxen and, above all, the ice bear, be protected? (R)
The last film in the series looks at the impact of mining on the Arctic’s fragile ecosystem and the Inuits. Can they be protected for future generations?
