Established in 1680, the Comedie Francaise is the oldest national theatre in the world. To the French people, however, it is far more than a theatre, it is a mirror of the French nation, reflecting the vast cultural and political changes which have taken place in the country over the last 300 years.
This film, made by one of the Comedie's leading actors, Jean Phillipe Puymartin , reflects both the eccentricities and great traditions of this unique establishment. Film cameraman

Are Britain's managers still the dunces of the world? A major report, commissioned by the Government two years ago, shows that Britain lags far behind other western countries in management training.

Series editor BRIAN DAVIES (e)

5: Whose Green and Pleasant Land?
Tonight's film looks at the relationship between town and country which has changed dramatically over the last 100 years.
Commuting has taken over in even the remotest rural areas. From west London where the suburban house was 'invented' through the Thames Valley where the suburbs are now spreading to Wales.
Patrick Nuttgens explores the revealing archive material of early suburban life and meets present-day incomers and local people now facing the prospect of trying to live as one community. 'My husband likes to be liked' says one new countrywoman, but is that enough?

'I want you to see that I am a much better artist than poet' wrote Federico Garcia Lorca but apart from an exhibition in Barcelona in 1927, little public notice was taken of his art until 1986. Then 50 years after the poet's tragically early death, an exhibition of more than 200 drawings, most of them previously unpublished, was created in Madrid.
Lorca's graphic art reveals a witty and trenchant eye for detail as well as some romantic pictures of his beloved Granada. The same obsessive themes that dominate the poet's verse, also appear in the drawings and the two are brought together by this film where the commentary is taken from his letters and poems.
