In the Church of England the recent passionate arguments about the ordination to the priesthood of women or of practising homosexuals are symptoms of a much wider debate. Should the hierarchy of the established church - with its historical emphasis on compromise and consensus - yield to the increasingly vocal calls from both Evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics for a more clearly defined lead? Should the C of E be more involved in politics or less?
David Lomax talks to the Archbishop of Canterbury and assesses the mood of the Anglican faithful in parishes in Essex, Cornwall and County Durham.

Last in a ten-part series which tells the story of Hollywood from the coming of sound to the present day. Hollywood Now
As Hollywood moved into the 1980s, there were signs that all was not well in the movie capital. Rising costs, rampant 'juvenilisation', and changes in studio ownership were causing a crisis of confidence in the film-making community. Could this be the end of the Hollywood Dream? In the last programme of the series,
Barry Norman looks at the state of Hollywood's health today, and with the help of Steven Spielberg
Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood he asks, can Hollywood survive?
