Forty years ago the Nuremberg Trials returned verdicts on the leading Nazis, 12 of whom were sentenced to death. Stanley Kramer's Oscar-winning film is set in 1948 when four German judges came before an American court in Nuremberg charged with crimes against humanity. The witnesses include a victim of sexual sterilisation, a woman accused of having an affair with an aged Jew, and the American prosecutor who shows film of the atrocities he witnessed in the concentration camps.

revealed by Lady Wedgwood A series of explorations into the hidden meanings of five paintings.
1: 'Christ crowned with thorns' by Hieronymus Bosch At the turn of the 16th century, when religion and politics were inseparable, the message of this deceptively simple picture was political dynamite. Bosch's language of symbols barely conceals a bitter criticism of the authorities of his day.
Beyond the political cartoon are deeper levels of meaning, illuminated by the new spirit of personal enlightenment and salvation that was emerging in late medieval thought. Bosch builds up a metaphorical picture of the human personality and how it was seen to reflect both the celestial world around us and the divine beyond.

The second of three films about the Chinese countryside
All Under Heaven
If China had an Ambridge, this village would surely be it. So what interests the peasant farmer? What bothers his wife? Strangely, just the ordinary things - changes in farming policy, auntie's funeral, the price of pigs, the new washing-machine, how to placate those nosey inspectors, the latest on TV, how to make a little extra money on the side, next week's fair ... This most unusual film gets close to the everyday lives of the Chinese people. It shows how the traditions of rural life persist despite the revolutionary changes of the last 40 years. Narrator Libby Purves Produced and directed by CARMA HINTON. RICHARD GORDON Produced for the BBC by VIVIANA WOODRUFF

Derek Malcolm introduces a double bill of two influential French gangster films.
starring Nathalie Baye, Philippe Leotard, Richard Berry
Informers aren't that easy to recruit, especially when word on the street is that the police themselves shopped the latest victim of gangster boss Massina's henchmen.
Inspector Palouzi makes his choice, but even a prostitute and her pimp have their own code of honour. With its winning combination of hard-hitting action and authenticity, "La balance" broke box-office records in France, and became a cult film in this country.
American director Bob Swaim spent six months with the Brigades Territoriales and his stylish thriller reflects the toughness and amorality of this elite police force.
(A French film with English subtitles. First showing on British television)

After a lifetime of crime, Max is planning to retire on the proceeds of a bullion robbery. His partner, Riton, cannot resist boasting of the successful heist to a girlfriend. Soon a rival gang is looking for easy pickings. Jean Gabin 's performance as the suave master-crook in Becker's compelling picture of the Paris underworld brought a well-earned return to his pre-war level of popularity.
