Icebergs and Crouching Giants How many star-systems or galaxies are there?
It now seems that there are many more than has been believed-some of them so dim that they are barely visible, so that we are seeing only
'the tip of the iceberg'; others so compact, like crouching giants, that they have been mistaken for stars. Professor Michael Disney of Cardiff University, who has been deeply involved in this new research, joins Patrick Moore to give the latest results. Producer PIETER MORPURGO

Three Sides of the South Tonight's programme presents three distinctive types of music from the southern states of America: blues, soul and country.
The programme opens with a one-off performance from the Everly Brothers. Through old-time country songs like Lightning Express and Barbara Allen , the Everlys evoke the music of their
Appalachian childhood and pay tribute to the musical tradition of rural America.
The music of Delta bluesman Son House forms the second part of this southern trilogy. Son House died in October last year and this film is the only surviving footage of the man who inspired the , blues greats.
The programme finishes with the first showing on British television of Otis Redding at the 1967 Monterey pop festival. Production FRANK HANLY. tim MAY, BOB PORTWAY Series editors
