Life and Death in Ancient Egypt
What was life like in Ancient Egypt? Four thousand years later, how does one find out?
Eleven years ago, Chronicle filmed Dr Rosalie David and her team as they unwrapped an Egyptian mummy. Now their research has extended to the rest of the Manchester Museum collection and to Egypt itself.
There, dentist Frank Leek investigates the problem of Pharaonic toothache, while Dr Eddie Tapp , consultant histopathologist, diagnoses the illnesses of a priestess of Amon.
Using up-to-date scientific techniques, the team discovers both the pleasant and the not-so-pleasant realities of life and death in Ancient Egypt. Written and produced by JOHN SELWYN GILBERT Editor BRUCE NORMAN (R)

Third of six films of early exploration introduced by Duncan Carse
Home of the Blizzard (1912) This film of an expedition towards the South Pole contains some of the earliest footage of Antarctica.
The expedition endures the dark polar winter, with gales gusting to 150 miles an hour - the 'home of the blizzard' indeed, and in spring the explorers set out on their survey expeditions -
Journeys from which two men never return.

Last of six programmes: How to Point at Chickens

Dear Radio Times,
I switched on my TV set at 9.00pm on Thursday expecting to see another edition of Alexei Sayle's Stuff as advertised. What a disappointment! Due to the whim of those mandarins in programme planning, the series was not cancelled to make way for last-minute coverage of the Embassy Pro-Am Snooker final from the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield.
Spare a thought for the poor sporting viewer, please!

A series of films about real lives now
A Policewoman's Lot
Policewoman Louise Ross , kicked unconscious as she broke up a fight among men brandishing broken glasses, was off work for a month. Louise is a probationary constable in the West
Midlands, which has 920 women officers. At one in seven of the force, it's the highest proportion in the country. Sixty-two women were injured in a year. Now there's a debate in the force itself about the role of women, especially in violent situations.
This film tells the women's stories:
Sheena Thomas , a sergeant at 27, who faces Chief
Constable Geoffrey Dear after holding the line during a tense demonstration;
Inspector Eileen Jones , the only woman in the firearms containment team; and Pamela Burrell , beat car driver in Handsworth, where fellow blacks have threatened her.
