A space station in the year 2001: four men are searching in space for forests, animals and fruit to refurbish a devastated Earth. But after eight years they are called back. Only Freeman Lowell is unhappy and decides that the mission must succeed ... This extraordinary and often beautiful film about a man's mutiny to save Earth has become a cult work in the science fiction genre blending comedy and visual brilliance in its timely message about the future of a mankind that is ecologically uncaring.

Southenders
Narrated by Tom Watt This is the story of a marathon nobody heard much about at the time. It was called the Southend Seafront Superskate - 36 hours on roller skates up and down the five-mile stretch of promenade. The rules allowed a short rest at each end, but no sleeping. It had never been done before and some people had doubts whether it could be done but, early one morning in May, there were 160 young people ready to give it a try ...

The Pioneers of Modern Surgery
Into the Heart
Second of a five-part series In 1945, there was no such thing as a heart surgeon.
Crippled children, blue and breathless with congenital heart disease, were sent home to die. Operating on the inside of the heart was considered impossible.
Then, within a few years, everything changed. Taking incredible risks, a group of pioneering surgeons forged the miracle of modern heart surgery. At first they operated on patients cooled in iced water. Then they gained more time by joining the patient's blood supply to another person: a human heart-lung machine.
Many patients died, but open heart surgery survived and grew strong.
Narrated by Alexander John Film editor PETER PARNHAM Written and produced by JON PALFREMAN
