Jack Ashley , MP appeals on behalf of the TV Fund for the Deaf.

But there is still a very long waiting list for sets urgently needed by young and old alike, who simply cannot afford a teletext television.

As St Patrick's Day festivities begin in the Republic of Ireland, Roger Royle visits a border county.
County Monaghan is the home county of Sir Tyrone Guthrie , who left his ancestral home to the people of the whole island as an artist's retreat; and of Sir Shane Leslie , who bequeathed to the local bishop a remote island which hosts the most extraordinary pilgrimage in Europe
- St Patrick's Purgatory. In the Cathedral of St Macartan the people of Monaghan sing their favourite hymns: some of them in the ancient language of Ireland.

with Helena Kennedy

Each week, behind the headlines of the news, there are issues in public or private morality which we sometimes ignore. Helena Kennedy examines one of these questions.

The Smiths
One family's experience of trying to stay in work, presented by Eric Robson. While Britain's unemployment figures are headline news, recent research suggests that people in work know little about those in the dole queue. So every night this week the Smith family from Peterlee, County Durham, explain the reality of what it's like to be out of work.
John Smith is 40, highly skilled and no stranger to working away from home.
Until he was made redundant he had constant work for 17 years: now he's in his third period out of work in as many years. Carol Smith manages the family finances on £90 a week, but wonders how long she'll be able to keep them out of debt. Every night this week Carol and John and their sons John Jr and Paul describe their life in and out of work.

Stellar Catastrophe
On 24 February a supernova blazed out in the Large Cloud of Magellan, which is the brightest of the external star-systems though unfortunately too far south to be seen from Britain.
The new supernova is the brightest to have been seen since 1604, and is of immense interest to astronomers. Patrick Moore and Dr Paul Murdin of the Royal Greenwich Observatory talk about the supernova, and what it may tell us about the life-stories of the stars. Producer PIETER MORPURGO

Patrick Moore talks about Supernova 1987a, a star that exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud in 1987, with his guest Dr Paul Murdin.
