Though well-known today as a television host, the Cilla Black who first came to national prominence was rather different. In this programme from 1968 she hosts her own singing and dancing show. Her guests include Cliff Richard, singing that year's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, and Sandie Shaw. Backing vocals were by the Ladybirds. (B/W)

The first of two films on the morality of punishment.

From Greek tragedy to the death penalty, society has demanded revenge and retribution in punishment. This film explores the part the victims play in getting even, and shows how the justice system struggles to compensate for the suffering of victims by the degree of pain it inflicts on the offender.

It tells the story of Stephen Owen who, frustrated by the failure of the courts to inflict sufficient suffering on the man who killed his son, took the law into his own hands. And there is a report from America, where victims have become a political force. The cameras go into a Californian court to witness a murder trial. In a chilling and disturbing climax, it shows for the first time how relatives of the victim persuade a jury to sentence the offender to death.
(Part 2, A Cure for Crime, is on Wednesday at 8.10pm)

Basil Dearden's classic 1950 drama stars Jack Warner in his first appearance as London copper PC George Dixon. The popularity of the character was such that the BBC later brought him back to life to star in the television series Dixon of Dock Green.
When Dixon is shot trying to arrest a couple of crooks, new recruit Andy Mitchell takes up the case with a vengeance.
