The last of eight stories about the Special Operations Executive
Narrated by Michael Bryant In Malaya, as in Greece and Yugoslavia, SOE faced a problem: should it arm
Communist guerrillas? There was little choice. The Japanese overran Singapore and the Peninsula in ten short weeks. SOE had to build the core of Malayan resistance from
Chinese Communists already practised in the art of subversive operations -against British rule.
SOE officers John Davis and Richard Broome remember the years that followed. But despite wartime camaraderie, SOE had opened a Pandora's box in Malaya.
Three years after the Japanese surrender, the same SOEtrained guerrillas were back in action. This time they were fighting to drive out the British, in a war which was to last for 12 bitter years.

3: Heroin - Helping Addicts Addiction to heroin is not necessarily a life, or death, sentence.
Mick Ooms was on heroin for eight years, but he got help at Alpha House, Hampshire. Claire talks to Mick about the regime of 'care and confrontation' which has kept him off heroin for more than a year.
Claire also talks to
The Rev Eric Blakebrough who believes that medically controlled supplies of drugs ('maintenance') can help addicts to come off eventually. He has been using this approach at his Kaleidoscope Centre at Kingston for 17 years.
