Brahms: F major Sonata
The first of six programmes being repeated as a tribute to the great musician who died in 1990attheageof76. "If I cannot make my programmes as interesting to the porter at Speke Airport as to the general music lover then I am not being a good Tortelier," wrote the flamboyant and charismatic French cellist to producer Rodney Greenberg when he first embarked on his
TV masterclasses in 1974. "And he lived up to that claim through all the shows I did with . him," says Greenberg.

BBC2's weekly cinema night. Tonight's programme is the first full-length portrait of controversial director Sam
Peckinpah who died in 1984. His films included The Getaway and Straw Dogs , but he was most closely identified with westerns like The Wild Bunch,
Ride the High Country, Guns in the Afternoon, and Pat Garrett. Combining the intensely violent with the deeply elegiac, Peckinpah did more than anyone to dramatise the death of the west. Actors
Kris Kristofferson , James Coburn , Ali MacGraw , Jason Robards and other collaborators reflect on working with this unique maverick whose own version of his late masterpiece Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid follows this programme. Director Paul Joyce
Series producer Paul Kerr
A Lucida production for BBCtv

Tonight's Moving Pictures feature presentation was directed by Sam Peckinpah and stars James Coburn
Kris Kristofferson
"It's times that have changed - not me." Billy the young outlaw is forced to accept that
"progress" has come to the American south west, but even so he is reluctant to change his ways. It is up to his former friend - an outlaw turned lawman - to hunt down the Kid and make him see "sense" - at the end of a rope. Peckinpah's western is a vividly authentic portrait of life at the turn of the century in a violent land where the law was a recent innovation.
