Weather followed by The Treasures of Ghuquisaca
Presented by Jenny Cropper. Narrated by Joss Ackland. A BBC expedition set out from the highest capital in the world - La Paz - and followed the path of the Spanish conquistadors. In
Potosi they found a silver hill which had supplied a third of the silver of the New World.
Here the expedition members heard rumours of treasure further to the south. As they drove they climbed to 16,000 feet and the ruined city of Lipez. An isolated peasant family lived among the ruins. It seemed they had made a wasted journey. But here was the biggest surprise of all.

In Search of a Real 'Crocodile Dundee' Earlier this year,
Kos Evans , a young
English photographer, found herself journeying across the frontier vastness of Australia's
'top end'. Her assignment: to discover what, if anything, lay behind the legend of Michael J. Dundee , the world's newest folk hero. Was there, behind
Paul Hogan 's masterful portrayal of that bush-wise and city-innocent character, something more than mere cinematic myth? Was there someone out there in the never-never land on whom the legend was based?
In her quest, Kos found - and photographed - wild buffalo, deadly jellyfish, lizards, feral pigs, and some of the biggest and most dangerous crocodiles in the world. She also found some of the laconic, but larger-than-life characters she was seeking.
And there was one man in particular....

starring Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee. In days gone by, Captain Invincible was a superhero - defender of the poor, destroyer of Nazi war planes and an inspiration to American youth. After the McCarthy hearings when his patriotism is doubted the Captain has become a boozy drop-out. But suddenly in the 80s the world needs him again, when the secret 'hypno-ray' is stolen from a base in Central Australia.
The Captain is flying again - determined to thwart his arch enemy Mr Midnight.
This spoof on Superman co-stars Arkin with a dastardly, singing Christopher Lee.
