Sacrifice at Pearl Harbor
For nearly 50 years the world has been led to believe President Roosevelt's statement that the attack was a total surprise and completely unsuspected by the neutral Americans.
But witnesses from all over the world are now coming forward to tell a different story - that Washington was repeatedly warned about the coming attack.
Two men who certainly weren't told that they were the likely target for a Japanese air strike were the commanders responsible for the safety of the fleet at Pearl Harbor, 2,000 miles out into the Pacific.
Sacrifice at Pearl Harbor tells the whole story for the first time - from the breaking of the vital Japanese Naval Code by the British more than two years before. Film editor PAUL ASHTON

Edward Marshall Hall.
Starring Jonathan Hyde with Michael Feast
David Schofield, Terry Taplin, Sian Thomas, Leslee Udwin.
The actress Hettie Chattell claims that she has been libelled by an item of 'greenroom gossip' in the Daily Mail. A trivial case, it seems. But a chance remark is to bring Marshall Hall before a hostile Appeal Court, to the brink of financial ruin and a broken career.

Face to Face
In an occasional revival of the classic television interview format, Jeremy Isaacs talks to
Merce Cunningham. At the age of 70, Cunningham is perhaps the world's best-known choreographer of modern dance. Since 1953, when he founded his own company, he has been at the forefront of modern experimentation.
Cunningham talks about the motivation behind his unflagging creative energy, and his collaborations with artists such as John Cage , Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.
