Aquarius gets moved to a post-11pm timeslot, causing Humphrey Burton to announce this edition as the start of a new series, despite airing just a week after the previous entry. The subject is still repeated material, with music by Mahler.
A special feature-length edition, giving viewers a second chance to see Leonard Bernstein conduct the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Mahler.
A rescreening of the documentary on Covent Garden, with Humphrey Burton acknowledging that things had changed in the interim, and that not as many buildings were going to be demolished as previously proposed.
After its success at the Oscars, clips from the making of Cabaret are reshown, along with a sequence from the finished movie. Also getting a repeat is the recent film and interview with Lord Snowdon.
Dudley Moore is a guest in both repeated films in this edition, with a tribute to Cole Porter and work based on W.H. Auden's "common place book". Other guests include Cleo Laine, Diana Rigg, Paul Hardwick and Michael Hordern.
The run of repeated material comes to an end, with a chance for viewers to revisit the film on Havergal Brian. Closing the show is a recording of a Stravisnky concert, which, while not new - it was recorded in 1971 - is new to Aquarius.
