A programme giving an English reproduction of the Italian documentary by Sergio Zavoli
, Clausura ' which won the Italia Prize In 1968
English translation by Thomas Sterling
The original programme consisted of recordings made in a Carmelite convent of ceremonies and interviews with nuns, and gave a vivid picture of the day-today life of an enclosed community.
In this English production all the original sound effects are retained. The members of the cast have aimed, by means of minute study of the Italian recording, to reproduce in detail not only the matter but the expression and mood of the original.

by Isaac Deutscher
Mr. Deutscher speaks about Trotsky at the very ebb of his fortunes, and about the book Trotsky's Diary in Exile: 1935 which has recently been published in an English translation.

Gagaku means elegant or correct music, the orchestral music of Japan's court. Geoffrey Bownas, Lecturer in Chinese and Japanese in the University of Oxford, talks about this music and demonstrates the instrumentation.
The programme ends with an example, Etenraku, which means 'The music that passes up to heaven.'
