This week: Leamington Spa Arthur Negus, and a team of Britain's leading experts from the world of art and antiques continue on the road. They meet the public informally and discuss treasured possessions brought along for assessment.
The programmes, presented by Hugh Scully , are full of information, excitement and surprises as people discover the truth about objects that have, sometimes, been gathering dust for years.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that there are more 'finds' than disappointments. Director ROY CHAPMAN Producer ROBIN DRAKE BBC Bristol (R)

A two-part film
For the first time, cameras have been allowed to film throughout Britain's most famous tied house - Number 10 Downing Street. The programme shows Mr and Mrs Thatcher in their private flat high above Number 10; goes with Ministers into their meeting in the Cabinet room; sees how the staff of top civil servants organise the Prime Minister's formidable working day; and, in the office where she makes her most important decisions,
Mrs Thatcher talks about the problems - and pleasures - of living above the shop.
Number 10 is also shown as a place for grand hospitality, receptions and formal dinners in the magnificent state rooms, as well as the behind-the-scenes organisation that makes this extraordinary combination of a private house and a high-powered centre of government really work.

Nicaragua: Reagan and the Christian Conscience
America has certainly recovered that sense of confidence in its righteous authority in the world which it seemed to have lost after the defeat in Vietnam. At the same time, in the fastest growing protest movement since the Vietnam years, many American
Christians see that confidence as arrogance, that righteousness as hypocricy, that authority as the authority of the bully. If their own government is prepared to use all measures short of direct military intervention against Nicaragua, they say they are prepared to use all methods short of actual violence to thwart that policy and oppose their government. To them, as the self-appointed conscience of America, the issue at the heart of the matter is the moral right of this 'one nation under God' to cleanse its hemisphere of godless communism. Film editor MIKE ALOOF Producer OLGA EDRIDGE

Five programmes on the history of mass education in England and Wales. 3: Barriers
Inside the Collegiate School in Liverpool in the 1850s and 60s there were physical barriers to keep the different social classes apart. The history of secondary education, as the story of this famous school soon shows, has long been affected by snobberies and social divisions.
