The Junk Adventure of the Tai Ki
At the most distant point from land anywhere in the world - in the North Pacific - a Chinese river junk met a disaster.
Tai Ki had been built in Hong Kong to an ancient pattern to try to prove that the Chinese of 2,000 years ago could have reached South America.
From the beginning there had been problems. Would the traditional methods and equipment used in its construction stand up to such an epic voyage? Delays during building took departure into the typhoon season and experts advised against it. The international crew of eight were mostly inexperienced. Could they ever work as a team?
They almost made it, but disaster was to come from an unexpected source.

The great French film-maker
Jean Renoir died this year at the age of 84. Gavin Millar introduces 12 of his best films.
Renoir was the son of the painter Auguste. He married his father's model Catherine, and turned to film-making in 1924 in order to make her a film star.
Later, he worked with the greatest stars in the world and made sev-
I eral of what are regarded as the greatest films ever, including
La Grande Illusion and Rules of the Game.
Director CHARLES CHABOT Producer GAVIN MILLAR
Tonight's film
Une Partie de
Campagne starring
Jeanne Marken Sylvie Bataille
This nostalgic love-story set on an idyllic summer's day has remained one of the best-loved of Renoir's works. A Parisian ironmonger takes his family on a Sunday outing to the country. While he snores through the afternoon oblivious of the beauty around him, both his wife and daughter find romance on the river bank. To the wit and bitter-sweetness of Guy de Maupassant's story, Renoir's film adds a serenity and joy underlined by the simple musical score.
Written and directed by JEAN RENOIR

3: Murder in the First Degree Part 3
The jury is back, and film cameras record a courtroom drama of poignancy and power - scenes and oratory that could not happen in a British Court. So the Perri trial comes to an end. Perri, Perri's wife, Weiss ' the snitch', the Judge, the jurors and the Prosecutor all talk freely about disturbing developments in and out of court. There is a sense of disquiet at the way justice is handled in Circuit Eleven Miami.
