In yachting, match racing is both a complex battle of tactics and a way to train
Britain's next generation of international yacht racers. With cameras on board to capture the excitement,

The first of two programmes Adventure: High Life Tonight, three films. First, three extrovert
Frenchmen introduce a team of rather shy Chinese to hang-gliding. Apparently it is to become an Olympic sport in 1992 - and the Chinese want to catch up.
Second, on a vertical cliff face in southern France, Eric Escoffier elegantly defies gravity. He is a leading member of Profession
Grimpeur - loners who take part in one of Europe's newest spectator sports: competitive rock-climbing. Third, a film which, when shown earlier this year, provoked much interest - about those Mohawk Indians who knit together the highest girders on New York's skyscrapers.

This listing contains language that some may find offensive.

First of six programmes. Carel Weight
Carel Weight has been described as one of the ten best portrait painters in Britain, while his narrative pictures are now recognised as an important addition to
20th-century British painting. In the strange and personal world created in the paintings, familiar English scenes are undermined by a lurking violence, mystery and fear. His portraits, spanning 60 years of a working artist, consistently show the sombreness and intensity he discovers in the human face. Now in his 80s, he reviews his life's work and reveals the influences behind his paintings.

Opens an exciting season showcasing the Hollywood 'brat pack'. Starring and Andie is as unconventional as her name. She won't play to high school rules. She dresses as she wants, lives her own life - adored by the zany Duckie - and avoids the rich kids. But when the handsome, BMW-owning
Blane McDonough enters her life, things change ...
This sparkling comedy from the creator of The Breakfast Club features a remarkable rock score, including tracks by the Psychedelic Furs, OMD and Otis Redding.
Screenplay by JOHN HUGHES Produced by LAUREN SHULER Directed by HOWARD DEUTCH
