Sidelights on a Competition
Jeremy James looks at the annual battle for a Sunshine Medal - the prize that just might 'put your daughter on the stage'!
The All-England Sunshine Dancing Competition for Children has been held every year since 1924 to raise money for the Sunshine Homes for Blind Children.
At last year's competition, when this film was made, children of all ages, backed up by devoted mothers and dedicated teachers, danced their way through provincial heats and semi-finals to win the forty-seven medals and eleven cups waiting in London at the finals.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta talks to Malcolm Muggeridge.
At the gates of Calcutta's Temple of Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction and fertility, is a place where destitute people go in order not to die, alone, on the pavements. It is called the Home for the Dying, and it is run by a community of nuns led by a remarkable woman. Mother Teresa is also concerned with the sick, the hungry, and what happens to the 5,000 children the organisation has rescued from the streets and who are now in her care.

The Tempest
Starring Michael Redgrave
Tonight AT 9.15
Prospero, Duke of Milan, absorbed in his books, foolishly and irresponsibly left the government of his state to Antonio, his brother. Antonio, tired of the responsibility without the trappings, plotted with Alonso, King of Naples and an enemy of Prospero, to overthrow him. They succeeded, and Prospero and his three-year-old daughter, Miranda, were set adrift in an old leaking hull and left to perish.
Fortunately, a kind nobleman provided them with food, clothing, and most important of all, the precious books on which Prospero's supernatural powers depended. They were washed up on an island on which the only inhabitant was Caliban-the primitive creature with no sense of right or wrong and without the powers of speech. Prospero has, using his magical powers, overthrown him, taught him speech, but has kept him subjugated. He has then devoted himself to the cultivation of his mind, and to the special education of Miranda.
When Shakespeare's play begins twelve years have passed and Miranda is fifteen. In the opening scene, Alonso and Antonio-joint architects of Prospero's ruin - and Ferdinand, Alonso's son, are sailing from Tunis to Naples and have encountered a terrible storm-the tempest raised by Prospero to drive them on to his island ...
