A film by Michael Latham and Gordon Thomas
It is two years since this award-winning documentary was first shown. Now the end of the story can be told. On the operating table lies a young mother. Round her the surgeon and his team gather to start one of the most difficult operations. Nobody knows what the outcome will be.
This remarkable film tells how Heather Kent and her husband coped with this sudden crisis in their lives. As Heather calmly departed for hospital they both knew that it might be the end of their life together.
"An undisputed masterpiece" (Robert Ottaway, Daily Sketch)
"Marvellously compelling" (Ludovic Kennedy, Sunday Telegraph)
"It made shattering viewing" (Rum Hall, Sunday Times)

A Victorian for our time
He was not a literary critic in the dreary academic sense of the term, nor a political economist, nor a historian. He was all of these and none of them. He was in fact an amateur of genius with that breadth of mind and wide range of interests which to us seems one of the most valuable and agreeable characteristics of the Victorian age. (Norman St. John-Stevas)
It would be a most agreeable good fortune to introduce Bagehot to men who hate not read him. To ask your friend to know Bagehot is like inviting him to seek pleasure. (President Woodrow Wilson)
Bagehot is perhaps one of the most important and most neglected among Victorian men of letters. His book The English Constitution-a study of the working of the -English constitution between the two parliamentary reform acts, 1832 and 1867-is a classic. He was also editor of the Economist, a widely read essayist, wit, ironist and mystic. Norman St. John-Stevas, apart from his career as an M.P., has written a biography of Bagehot and is currently editing the complete literary works and papers-the first four volumes of which have already been published. Tonight he reflects on the man's life and work and sets him in the context of our time.
