Seven films in which
David Jessel takes up the cases of people who find themselves the victims of those institutions they thought would protect them. 4: Suddenly Last Summer.... Jews fleeing Hitler, Russians under Stalin, Iranians opposed to Khomeni, Chinese students.... all have found sanctuary from persecution by escaping to more civilised countries. Britain has a long history of offering political asylum to people who 'have a genuine fear of persecution' in their own country. Suddenly last summer, faced with increased numbers of Kurds escaping oppression in Turkey, British immigration authorities began to bend the rules. Some Kurds were denied the basic right to explain their fears and claim asylum. Many were sent straight back to Turkey.... back to imprisonment and torture.

Charlie and Damien are friends and fighters - sometimes street fighters, sometimes boxers. The same tough start in life has drawn them together. Both in their early 20s, they are both determined to make it in the best way they can, and professional boxing could be the answer. But somehow warehouse parties and other temptations get in the way.

Taste
The third of five films on the relationship between design and the senses.
A celebration of the cult and culture of coffee drinking: from the youth-oriented espresso bars of the 50s to the sleekest architect-designed coffee pots of the 90s, with a detour through the soap opera lifestyle of instant coffee commercials.
To what extent is taste influenced by ritual and aesthetics and how much is this manipulated by marketing and design?
Featuring coffee connoisseurs Sir Terence Conran and Alberto Alessi.
