The second of the series
Young people look at the world of adults
Introduced by Joan Bakewell
From the North

Producer Raymond Short writes: Young people have quick eyes and deep feelings. They see life clearly and respond to it intensely. The aim of this series is to look at life through their eyes. The means is their own self-expression-through creative writing, art, and song. In many schools throughout the country, young people are being encouraged to discover and express their personal vision of this world. In preparing this series I have read poems from some seventy-five schools, written over the past three or four years, seen some fascinating art, and heard some pointed songs.
Each programme is a brief anthology-a mixture of these three elements-chosen from a wealth of material. Each focuses on a different aspect of modern life-tonight, we look at the way young people write and feel about the adults who are part of their world.

The Great Stars of yesterday and today in a season of their most memorable films
[Starring] Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell
with Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison, Emlyn Williams

A brilliant and idealistic young doctor struggles against squalor and ignorance in a small Welsh mining community.
Robert Donat gives a brilliant performance in this film - a year later he was to win an Academy Award for his performance in Goodbye Mr. Chips. Asthma was always a blight on his career, however, and in 1958 he died at the early age of fifty-three.
