I'm a Kind of Mechanised Tramp
Bill Houston is the kind of cyclist who would abhor the Tour de France almost as much as he abhors the motor car. For Bill Houston is the kind of man who prefers to use his bicycle to explore the back roads and goat tracks of the world.
When he came out of the army in 1946 Bill vowed that no one was going to order him about for 20 years. In
1972 he was still living for his bicycle. That is 25 years, 34 countries and 400,000 miles later.
And he can say with modesty that he envies no man - and there are few people who would disbelieve him. Producer BILL HOOK BBC Scotland (R)

1 Their 'talkies' are among the world's favourite comedies, but Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy also made some classic silent pictures in the late 1920s. This compilation pays affectionate tribute to the two stars, tracing the duo's developing style with clips from such films as Putting
Pants on Philip and Battle of the Century. Their work is also compared with that of other silent stars, like Charlie Chase and Max Davidson.

Pollution and Petrol —
Time to Clean Up Our Act? Despite the absence of lead, the new 'green' petrol still causes serious pollution and health risks. Doctors on both sides of the Atlantic argue that some elements within petrol have proven links with cancer. In America, individual states are taking draconian steps to limit air pollution from motor vehicles, yet their air is already cleaner than ours. Public Eye reveals new evidence of the relationship between the motor car and air pollution in Britain and asks: are our pollution controls tight enough to protect our health? Producer PHIL CRAIG

The Ho Chi Minh Trail with photographer
Philip Jones Griffiths.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail is the most quoted legend of the Vietnam War. Now for the first time a westerner travels through the jungle landscape which concealed the troops, armaments and supplies as they headed south. Against massive American bombing and fire power, they had one dedicated aim — the liberation of Saigon and the unification of the country.
Magnum photographer Philip Jones Griffiths , who recorded the war, makes an emotional journey awakening memories of a struggle that not only scarred the people but the conscience of the world.
Picking his way through the still present debris of battle, he meets the Vietnamese war heroes who built the trail, journeyed and fought on it. Producer MARTIN PROCTOR Director MICHAEL HOULDEY BBC Elstree
