The Mystery of Laguna Baja Embraced by dunes and fed by the surf of the Pacific lies a vast lagoon alive with creatures of the Mexican wild. To this marine oasis come grey whales. They pause at this most southerly extremity of the puzzlingly long journey from the Arctic. Around them feed birds that have fled from the northern winter to Baja, California.
Attractive to such travellers, and also home to a remarkable number of ospreys, as well as sea-lions, pelicans and peregrines, this desert lagoon is both enigma and living jewel. Narrator Barry Paine

Seven films on the love-lives of people round the world. 3: Wives and Husbands
Should men and women have different roles in marriage? Do marriages work better if one partner is the boss? Couples in Japan, Egypt,
Hungary and California talk about how they make their marriages work.
A husband in Kyoto explains why he can't say he loves his wife; a wife in Cairo reveals how she gets her own way even though her husband is boss; a husband in Hungary rejects the state policy that men and women are equal; and a wife in California confuses her husband by out-earning him.

continues a major season of films new to television.
Tonight starring Diane Keaton with Tuesday Weld Richard Gere
Theresa Dunn leads two lives. By day she is a dedicated teacher of deaf children, by night she cruises singles bars in a desperate search for sexual and emotional fulfilment. Theresa has fled her stifling family background and taken a flat in downtown Manhattan.
The freedom she enjoys is a reaction to her fiercely
Catholic upbringing and a traumatic childhood illness, but it is also a 'freedom' that leads her to drugs, promiscuity and increasingly dangerous relationships.
Screenplay by FREDDIE FIELDS Based on the novel by JUDITH ROSSNER
Produced by FREDDIE FIELDS Directed by RICHARD BROOKS
