Mike Gibson
Gibson was capped 69 times by Ireland, and gained 12 more as a British Lion. This quiet, self-effacing man was said by one astute New Zealand critic to be the complete rugby player.
Certainly he had an uncanny perception of a game, and found opportunity where lesser mortals would have seen none.
And at 43, he was still fit enough to turn out for the odd club match.

Another legendary figure reveals the private side to his public face. This week it is the American black activist Martin Luther King , who was assassinated in 1968.

A series of eight films examining the way women's lives have changed in the 20th century. 7: Her Indoors
'It was stultifying. I had the feeling, is this it?'
A housewife in the 1950s recalls her anger at being expected to be content busying herself around the house all day.
Over the century families have become smaller and household gadgets more efficient. Women now question whether being a wife and mother is quite enough. As more and more women go out to work, how much has really changed at home?

Personal views on architecture and the environment
A Modernist View
Richard Rogers - designer of such buildings as Lloyds of London and the Pompidou
Centre in Paris believes that architecture should reflect the age in which it is built. He sees his architecture as part of a cultural and political movement that is progressive, optimistic and humane. He deplores how
Britain seems to have lost its nerve and is beginning to design buildings based on the traditions of the past, thereby obliterating the present.
He goes to Paris and looks at the confidence of their great new building schemes encouraged by President Mitterand and analyses his own work at the Pompidou Centre ten years after its opening. And in Florence he considers the classical inspiration behind much of his own work and that of Brunelleschi and the Italian Renaissance. Film cameraman JOHN GOODYER
