The tumultuous events surrounding the sub-continent's partition in
1947 into India and Pakistan are re-imagined in Ken McMullen's
complex and visually striking film. A lunatic asylum in Lahore
provides a mirror image of the political and social events
happening in the outside world. The same actors are used for both
inmates and rulers. This powerful film was made 40 years after
partition by artist and director, Ken McMullen, adapted in
collaboration with Tariq Ali from the short story, 'Toba Tek
Singh', by acclaimed Urdu writer, Sadaat Hasan Manto.
World champion angler Bob Nudd shows the best methods to use to
improve your angling technique, covering stillwater fishing on the
pole, on the feeder, and on the waggler.
Michael Palin's first televised travel adventure was screened as part of the BBC series Great Railway Journeys.
'Confessions of a Train Spotter' (1980) saw him travel the length of Britain by train. Setting off from Euston he includes diversions to lines beyond the inter-city network; a trip on the Flying Scotsman; visits to York's railway museum and Edinburgh at Festival time. He crosses the breathtaking Forth Railway Bridge, and after travelling over 785 miles reaches the Kyle of Lochalsh.
Palin's second Great Railway Journey (1994) takes him from the ancient walled city of Londonderry to the most western tip of Ireland. He travels his 'family line' as he attempts to trace his great grandmother who left Ireland for the USA over 150 years ago. His trip through a still war-torn Northern Ireland takes him on to Belfast before heading south to Dublin, the capital of the Irish Republic, and on to Wexford, Waterford, the little village of Buttevant and finally Kerry's Dingle Bay, the most western point of Ireland.
There is little doubt that carp fishing is one of the most complex
forms of angling, and when most young anglers are faced with a vast
array of expensive equipment, it can seem like an uphill struggle
before they are anywhere near the water. But help is at hand with
Bob Nudd MBE, four times World Coarse Angling Champion. Beginning
with the basics, Bob explains how to ensure that you enjoy a
rewarding carp fishing session every time.

AMG, Explore the origins of composer Igor Stravinsky's most
audacious work as Michael Tilson Thomas and the musicians of the
San Francisco Symphony travel throughout the Russia to seek out the
true story of Stravinsky's landmark collaboration with Diaghilev
and Nijinsky. As war loomed on the horizon and Stravinsky made his
way through the streets of Paris, the seeds were planted for a
revolutionary piece of work that would, upon its premiere in 1913,
send even the most fashionable of Parisians into a riotous rage. Of
course the reputation of "The Rites of Spring" continues to endure,
and in addition to offering a revealing look at the story of this
masterful work, this release also offers a special performance of
"The Rites of Spring" by the San Francisco Symphony.
Though initially developed as a form of survival transport in colder alpine and tundra environments, skiing has become a prime leisure sport with a wide and dedicated following of keen participants that includes all levels of society from royals to republicans.
But now skiing has developed further and entered the 'Extreme' area of sporting activity. This is achieved when the risk factor is dramatically increased by practising the sport away from the commercial slopes in far more radical 'unspoiled' locations that are considerably more of a challenge to the skier's skills and daring.
Extreme skiing demands different attitudes, finer judgements, more sharply honed skills and specialised expertise.
