Final programme in a series about six remarkable women born at the beginning of the century in an age when it was difficult for them to fulfil their talents.
Mary Stott interviewed by Beatrix Campbell.
Mary Stott is best known for her 15-year editorship of The Guardian women's page but she is also a successful author, a life-long journalist, a veteran women's rights campaigner and a talented musician. Yet Mary herself insists her life is a tale of thwarted ambition rather than a catalogue of achievements.

A series of programmes featuring natural history films from other countries. Beaver Pond
The beaver has been known to fell a tree three feet in diameter and 110 feet tall. It can build its lodge 12 feet high and 600 feet long. All in all, it is considered to be one of nature's great architects and engineers. Its industry and skills create thriving habitats where once only poor ones existed.
Because of its newly-protected status, beaver activities are helping to reclaim badly eroded streams and creek beds. Their natural activities are undoing the damage of human neglect. This film, shot in the North American Rocky Mountain wilderness, has captured some of the remarkable behaviour of this gentle and extraordinary creature.

New York -
The Secret African City
Beyond the familiar world of Wall Street and Madison Avenue, there is another
New York, whose roots lie in West and Central Africa. Successive waves of newcomers of African descent have brought to the world's most glamorous city their own gods, myths and rituals. Robert Farris Thompson , Professor of Art History at Yale University, has been tracking down the survival of African traditions in New York. This film follows his exploration of Haitian vodun, the rituals which lie behind salsa music, the Brazilian martial art capoeira and hip-hop. It discovers how the lives of men and women, including a psychologist, a social worker, a businessman and an artist, have been affected by contact with African-derived religions. Programme consultant
