Who was the real Noah? According to the Bible, Noah was a holy man who saved humankind and all the animals in a wooden ark two-thirds the size of the Titanic. But how much of the story is really fact? This programme reveals a little-known passage in the Bible that says Noah only got 270 animals onto the ark. So perhaps the idea of a smaller ark with fewer animals is closer to the truth. This programme explores the truth behind the legend of Noah and asks whether or not the story could be based on real historical figures and events. Examining all aspects of the myth ¡V the ark, the animals, the great flood and Noah himself - by using computer-generated graphics and dramatic reconstructions, the programme sheds new light on an age-old story and comes to some surprising conclusions.

A thriller fairy tale about a boorish miller's family, whose greedy wife paid for the crime committed. But everything ended well.

An older man begins dancing in a public square, oblivious to the laughing gawkers who pass by. He seems to want to engage the attention of a young man sitting on a bench who begins weeping. A group of youngsters mimics and mocks the dancer. He's oblivious to them. The music is a sprightly tune that Fred Astaire might have used as he enticed Ginger Rogers into his arms. And didn't he do a lot of dancing in the streets in his movies? Nobody laughed at him. But, of course, he was only on a pretend street in a Hollywood soundstage. We know this is also a setup. Still, it's embarrassing. They're making public displays of themselves. The man, expressionless, continues to dance. The other man continues to weep. One kid starts taking the performance seriously and joins in the dance as a sort of pas de deux. Both men ignore him. And then it's over. We don't know why it began or ended. Courting ritual or celebration of self, it's unclear. (UbuWeb)

An experimental documentary about tugboats.

A film about Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, his last completed symphony. It features Riccardo Chailly rehearsing the Concertgebouw. Sometimes there’s shown the orchestra playing or, more often, Chailly conducting and commenting to the players, and sometimes with voice-over while the music continues underneath. There are commentaries concerning all four movements from Henry-Louis de la Grange, Mahler’s definitive biographer, a man who probably knows more about the composer than anyone, and from Chailly. There are snippets from other works, including a large part of a performance, unusually with a baritone (Thomas Hampson), of the ‘Abschied’ from ‘Das Lied von der Erde.’ Fully ten minutes of the fourth movement is played without interruption (in a dress rehearsal with audience). There is a reference after that to the impending departure of Chailly from the musical directorship of the orchestra after sixteen years; the film was made in 2004 and he has since been succeeded by Mariss Jansons.
