A Mary McCarthy interview features in a packed edition. Humphrey Burton later confessed: "I was so much in awe of her piranha-toothed smile that I drafted in Russell Harty to share the conversation with me and divert her withering look."
Three features are in this edition: a report on American tourism to the UK, Joe D'Orazio, a wrestler-turned-poet, and the current production of the Ballet Rambert Company.
Humphrey Burton travels to Iran for the 2500th anniversary of the foundation of the Persian monarchy, a two-part report. The second half of the show is an interview with David Niven, producing much laughter from the off-camera crew.
Aquarius concludes its two-part look at the culture of Persia, as seen via modern-day Iran. Also featured is a look at "Getting On", the new play by Alan Bennett, and two new art exhibitions in London.
Aquarius celebrates the 90th birthday of Picasso, occurring on the 25th. Among the other features included are a couple who can't stop getting married, winners of the Italia Prize, and Kenny Everett giving a classical top ten rundown.
Alongside brief footage of a spoof Monty Python awards ceremony, the main focus of this edition is edited highlights from a three hour debate on pornography. Among those taking part in the debate at the Cambridge Union is Mary Whitehouse.
