A magazine programme featuring community action, presented by Helene Hayman.

For millions of women the question 'How do I look?' is an obsession. Spare Tyre are a theatre company who through music and humour express many of the anxieties women have over their appearance - from compulsive eating to the obsessive slimmer. Tonight's Grapevine meets Spare Tyre and some women from self-help groups they have helped to form.

'Single people need homes too' - that's the plea made by CHAR, the Campaign for the Homeless and Rootless. They take over the Grapevine 'comment slot' tonight and show how Britain's housing crisis affects single people.

With 'Heard it...', our information exchange.
