The Mermaid Theatre
Exactly 30 years ago this month Bernard Miles opened his first Mermaid Theatre in his back garden at St John's Wood. On 7 July this year, after a closure of almost three years, a new and enlarged Mermaid Theatre was welcomed back to the London scene. This programme was filmed, behind the scenes, during the crucial weeks before the opening production - a new British musical.
Among those who give Lord Miles support are: Jane Asher , John Le Mesurier , Tom Conti and Sir Ralph Richardson

The United States will spend half of the defence budget over the next five years on new, ultra-sophisticated hardware. The sceptics are beginning to wonder how much of it is necessary and how much is the product simply of the power of the military-industrial complex in America.
The ' Iron Triangle' is made up of the Pentagon, the arms manufacturers and their respective supporters in the Congress. This programme traces their relationship through the development of the US Navy's dream aircraft, the F-18. ' Small, simple and cheap ' was the original specification. The price looks like being 30 million dollars apiece.
