A special television debate on the status of women in Britain
That Women should have a New Deal
Ludovic Kennedy will call Nemone Lethbridge, writer and former barrister, to prove this proposition and Bruce Campbell, QC, a former MP to disprove it.
The argument will attempt to decide whether the women of Britain receive the rough end of the stick from a society dominated by men, or whether the ladies are getting the best of both the worlds of freedom and of chivalrous protection.
To help argue their cases Nemone Lethbridge and Bruce Campbell may call any witnesses they choose, and may use as exhibits any film from the BBC archives. The issue will be debated in front of a specially invited audience.
