On 12 September, 1977, Steve Biko died in a South African prison. The official inquest cleared the authorities of any blame, but the circumstances of his death had repercussions all over the world.
At the age of 31, Biko was the charismatic leader of the Black Consciousness
Movement and one of the most influential political figures in the country.
In this Ebony film, Biko's closest friends and associates describe how he emerged to lead the movement and the personal qualities that set him apart.
For the first time, they also tell the story of political intrigue and betrayal which led to his death and assess the legacy of the Black
Consciousness Movement in South African politics today. Executive producer JOHN WILCOX Produced and directed by TERRENCE FRANCIS BBC Pebble Mill

Beginning a new season of exceptional films from all over the world, director Julian Temple introduces two movies made back-to-back by Francis Coppola from the novels about American youth and rebellion by S.E. Hinton.

The Outsiders
Starring Matt Dillon as Dallas Winston, C. Thomas Howell as Ponyboy Curtis, Tom Cruise as Steve Randle, Rob Lowe as Sodapop Curtis, Emilio Estevez as Two-Bit Matthews, Ralph Macchio as Johnny Gade, Patrick Swayze as Darrel Curtis, Diane Lane as Cherry Valance

An extraordinary cast, who subsequently became labelled as Hollywood's 'brat-pack', were seen for the first time in this moving story of small-town America, 1966, where the 'Socs' - the rich kids - are at war with the 'Greasers' - the deprived from the other side of town. Coppola shot the film as a lyrical homage to the Technicolor world of 50s youth movies.
(First showing on British television)

and at 11.05pm
Rumble Fish
Starring Matt Dillon as Rusty-James, Mickey Rourke as Motorcycle Boy, Diane Lane as Patty, Dennis Hopper as Father, Diane Scarwid as Cassandra, Vincent Spano as Steve, Nicolas Cage as Smokey

Released after The Outsiders, Coppola brought an unusual, stylised treatment to this tougher and more violent view of alienated youth in Tulsa, with only brief flashes of colour in a dream-like world of black and white.
Rusty-James, who believes himself the toughest teenager around, is doomed to be in the shadow of his adored elder brother, the Motorcycle Boy.
(In black and white and colour. First showing on British television)
