Large numbers of Asian women living in Britain speak little or no English. While Asian children are being educated to belong to this society, their mothers often remain cut off from it. Volunteer tutors in over 100 local schemes are helping such women to learn English and to cope more confidently with their surroundings. Many more volunteer tutors and helpers are now needed in view of the forthcoming TV series, Parosi, which aims to encourage Asian women to learn English.
Judith Chalmers introduces extracts from the Parosi series and shows how volunteers can help.

An original six-part story by Simon RAVEN.
Starring Jeremy Clyde as Sexton Blake, Derek Francis as Hubba Pasha, Barbara Lott as Mrs Bardell, Linal Haft as Maremma Bey, and Philip Davis as Tinker.

1927.

As King Henry VIII lies dying, he looks back over his life, the pivot of a rich, rumbustious and romantic period of English history. In spite of his multiple marriages and crowded court, Henry remained essentially lonely. Keith Michell 's critically acclaimed performance shows that underneath the gluttonous, gloating monarch lived a sensitive and sensual man.
