Last in the series that explores how everyday surroundings furnish a landscape of the mind. The Tower. Skyscrapers reach towards the heavens like cathedrals of commerce, dwarfing the church spires that once stood so tall. The tower is traditionally a place of incarceration, where fairy-tale fathers lock up their daughters, as well as a place of voluntary retreat - the poet's or philosopher's ivory tower, safe from the distractions of the world. This programme includes extracts from King Kong, Carol Reed 's Third
Man, Fritz Lang 's Metropolis, and King Vidor's The
Fountainhead (which can be seen in full at 12 midnight). Director/Producer Mark Kidel
