Narrated by Eleanor Bron.

The public image is glamorous - warm smiles and crisp uniforms, good looks and faraway places. No wonder thousands of hopefuls apply each year to become air stewardesses or stewards. What happens to the few who succeed? Helen MacLeod, from Dunfermline, and Neil Dover, from Durham, both aged 21, are two of the latest batch of 15 trainees to join British Airways. They've hardly ever travelled before. Now there's a demanding six-week course and a lot to learn.

Neptune's Children
Susannah York introduces the second of six programmes which look at our use and misuse of the North Sea.
There are those on the continent of Europe who see Britain and, in particular, its sewage as a major polluter. And although our great industrial rivers no longer spill their waste into its waters, the sea still has to cope with our domestic waste and garbage. But many people, like Scarborough's Sons of Neptune, are at last bringing about a sea change aimed at cleaning up our coastal waters. Executive producer JOHN MAPPLEBECK

The Day I Met the Queen
Who was the distinguished stranger knocking at the door of the Cross Hands Hotel one snow-driven night? Why did everyone bow and curtsy as Mr and Mrs Grose-Hodge shimmied on to the dance floor? How did Pam Murphy solve the personal problems of her cows?
This affectionate film tells the story of memorable meetings between subjects and their monarch.
The Meikle twins were introduced to her over a fence in the Borders. With
Gladys, Beryl and Molly she shared in the romance of fully-fashioned stockings. And when Steve Bond crashed his fruit-and-veg van into a tree, guess who came to the rescue ...
