The fifth of a series of special television debates.

"That the Arts are too important to be left to the artists."
Ludovic Kennedy calls The Rt. Hon. Sir John Hobson, Q.C., M.P. to prove this proposition and Ned Sherrin to disprove it.
Each of them may call any witnesses he wishes to substantiate his argument and use as evidence any film from the archives of the BBC.
The issue will be debated before a panel of thirty young lawyers and a specially invited audience.
