Living on the thorny plains of northern Kenya, the Samburu are semi-nomadic herders of camels, cattle and goats.
Dwelling among them is a Mzungu - a European. Sylvia Jenkins has been here, on and off, for nearly five years; she lives with a Samburu warrior, accepted by his mother and other relatives. Presenting an unusual view of tribal life, she explains why there are so few 'unmarried' pregnancies; talks about (and is treated with) traditional medicines; and complains (with a smile) about being hungry on the meagre diet. Above all, she worries about the encroachment of 'civilisation'.

The last of six programmes. Citizens
The 1980s has been the decade of the citizen. The common interpretation is that the west has won. Will Hutton argues that it is too simplistic to portray recent events simply as the triumph of capitalism and democracy over communism.
Dictatorships are giving way to people power, not only in Eastern Europe, but also in Chile, the Philippines and now South Africa. But as the new citizens start to build their democracies they will make a judgment about our western ideas of political and economic citizenship. Series producer SAM ORGAN
Producer TIMOTHY COPESTAKE BBC Bristol

Oxford
A steamy tale of sex and scholarship, in which a professor, a superstar comic and his girlfriend match wits with a beautiful American girl with a lust for learning. Espionage, possessive paranoia, murder and mayhem among the dreaming spires of Oxford, where swotting was never so hot nor tutorials so torrid in the desperate dash to attain a BA. Hannah......

Adventures in the Skin Trade
Eartha Kitt does it, Baroness Thyssen stopped doing it in the 70s and a survey says that seven out often women no longer want to do it - wear a fur, that is. Most women used to long for a mink. It spelt glamour, wealth and success. Blame it on the movies. Then came the Lynx campaign.... Furriers have become scared.
Women feel threatened. But the allure still clings along with the memories and the fascination of fur. Producer JOHN PITMAN Editor CAROLINE PICK
