Hugh Street, Isles of Scilly
Every street could tell a story - of its history and the people who live there. In this film, the people of Hugh Street tell their own stories in their own words. The former lifeboat coxswain, the man who cuts hair on an upturned boat, the newspaper editor and the hoteliers, all share their experiences - shaped by a lifetime of living on an island. Film editor PHU, WILKINSON Producer JEREMY MILLS
In a programme first broadcast in 1976 Joyce Grenfell , Robin Ray and David Attenborough face chairman Joseph Cooper for another musical battle of wits. The guest is baritone Benjamin Luxon.

With scented and variegated leaves, and flowers of many colours and shapes; the pelargoniums are among the best of all houseplants. Weatherman Bill Giles is very pleased with his vegetable plot this year. He advises on how much water plants will need, and when, during a dry spell. Production assistant CHRISTINE HARDMAN

RICHIE BENAUD introduces highlights of the second day's play.
Producer KEITH MACKENZIE
starring Robert Ryan Audrey Totter
'The guy's blown 100 fights already without anybody's help - he ain't gonna need more tonight'.
The guy is ageing, second-rate boxer 'Stoker'
Thompson, unaware that his manager has agreed that he'll lose a match to suit a crooked gambler. The plan goes wrong, however, when
'Stoker' feels that he can actually win this one ...
This taut and often savage film, dominated by Ryan's superb performance, remains Hollywood's best expose of the unglamorous and vicious world of gambling and boxing.
Screenplay by ART COHN based on a poem by JOSEPH MONCURE MARCH Produced by RICHARD GOLDSTONE Directed by ROBERT WISE
