Me and the Girls
A play by MICHAEL LEECH based on the short story by NOEL COWARD with Peter Woodthorpe as George Banks
George had ambitions to be one of the great musical comedy stars of the 1920s - but like many other young hopefuls he never quite made it. Now. 30 years later, and facing a fatal illness, he remembers those years of hope....

Mrs Elvira Barney had been one of the bright young things of the 20s. In June 1932, after a disastrous marriage, she was accused of shooting and killing her lover. To the surprise even of many of her friends she was found not guilty. Was she really innocent, or was it true that there was one law for the poor and another for the rich? with PATRICIA GALLIMORE
DAVID MARCH, ANTONY VICCARS and MANNING WILSON and with a personal recollection of Mrs Barney from BARBARA CARTLAND

The Price of Progress
Presented by John Vaizey
The debate about the ' traditional ' and ' progressive ' philosophies of education has been revived in recent weeks with the publication of research findings on the results achieved in the classroom by the two systems of teaching. A survey of schools showed that the move towards ' progressive ' techniques, strongly advocated by the Plowden Report nearly ten years ago. has had far less effect than was supposed. But what do we mean by ' progressive ' and how useful are the labels ' traditional ' and ' progressive '? How do we measure ' progressive ' in education standards?
