5: Scales, Synthesisers and Samplers
Harpsichords, spinets, clavichords, pianos and synthesisers. They are all keyboards, but how are they related scientifically? In the fifth and final Royal Institution Christmas Lecture, Professor Charles Taylor traces the development of the modern keyboard and the contribution of computers to today's music. The lecture includes a demonstration at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop of how the signature tune was composed from a series of 'real sounds' using modern digital technology.

The home of Double Dutch is Brooklyn, New York, where the girls rap, clap and even recite poems - all while skipping double ropes. Speed is everything when the Dynamic Forces skipping team slugs it out in a national contest to hit the maximum steps per minute.
A Capa/Canal + production

By Nick Perry.
Billy Jarvis is preparing to lead his gang of hooligans to the 1982 World Cup in Spain when Argentina invades the Falkland Islands. This transforms a routine expedition into an unofficial task force. But behind the nationalist fervour lies a professional tragedy which drives Billy to plan his own personal revenge. This powerful and disturbing film is a prelude to a new series of ScreenPlay Firsts which features film-makers new to television.
