A true story based on the diary of lain Ogilvie.
On 17 April 1966, three men set out to climb An Teallach, 'the forge', a massive sandstone ridge in the north west of Scotland. Two were experienced, but the third was a novice, and the mountain lay under a thick blanket of snow and ice. At three o'clock Ogilvie's two friends slipped down a 700-foot gulley. What followed was a solo rescue effort of remarkable skill and bravery. Film editor DICK PULL

When John Curry won the men's ice skating gold medal in the Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games in 1976 it was, in a sense, acceptance by his sport of a man whose values were at odds with many of the officials that he had had to convince. By 1976 even the most anti-Curry judges could not ignore his technical skills, even if they still questioned his artistic use of body movement.
But the public recognised in John Curry one of the most artistic men's skaters that the world has seen.
Barry Davies talks to Curry about his beliefs in skating as an art form, and his life since 1976 running a company of like-minded skaters.

'Sometimes I sit and think,' says Colonel Hilary Hook on his verandah in the Kenya hills, 'and sometimes I just sit.' Hilary Hook, an eccentric Englishman of the old school, formerly of the Indian cavalry, then leader of extravagant safaris, has now retired. He is looked after by his butler Kiperingi and a handful of servants.

Then, one day, the blow falls. Hilary Hook's African landlord evicts him. There's nothing for it but to return 'to my wrinkled, battered, bloody old first love - England'.
He finds an unfamiliar world. Now he has to live in a cottage next to a supermarket car park in Wiltshire. There are problems which prove hard to solve - how to change a plug, how to open a tin. He buys thermal underwear and rather too much alcohol. It's a poignant contrast to his life abroad. 'I don't know. I might have made a grave mistake, a very grave mistake indeed....' But Hilary Hook, brave, original and funny, reacts as an old soldier should.
