One of the first actions of the present Government was to issue a circular to local education authorities telling them, in effect, that they weren't obliged to 'go comprehensive.' So the comprehensive issue is one which will be settled locally.
In the first of two programmes the issues are debated by Brian Jackson (Director of ACE) and Angus Maude, MP

With the conference season in full swing, attention is sharply focused on one of the big problems - pressure on accommodation. All the political parties are now restricted to a choice of virtually two or three resorts, and the steady increase in the number of overseas visitors has also exposed the need for more comprehensive facilities for combining work and leisure. But two wealthy Scottish businessmen believe they may have found the answer - only a few miles from the heart of Glasgow.

A season of British films featuring acts of courage in the-face of the enemy. This week starring Richard Todd
with William Hartnell, Akim Tamiroff, Donald Houston
HMS Amethyst's daring flight down the Communist-controlled Yangtse river in July 1949 is already part of naval history.
The story of the Amethyst is not so far away from today's rash of hi-jacking. The People's Liberation Army of China held the frigate as 'ransom' for an admission of criminal responsibility by the Navy.
Tonight's film, directed by Michael Anderson who was also responsible for The Dam Busters, stars Richard Todd in the part of Lieutenant Commander John S. Kerans, who captained the crippled ship during its 140-mile ordeal.

A documentary on Art Therapy
"It's as if I were in a sort of garden and the whole world were outside."
What role can painting play in helping mental patients to reveal their innermost feelings? Healing powers are claimed for Art Therapy, but in practice the experts often disagree. In this film, shot in mental hospitals, the patients describe how and why they paint and give an insight into the activity of painting itself. Something painful, revealing and occasionally beautiful emerges from the hospital studios as this film clearly shows.
