Presented by Anna Ford , Network offers a monthly platform for discussion of topical issues affecting television programme-makers and their audiences.
Tonight Network examines the rise of charity on television and asks: who benefits? The last decade has seen a phenomenal growth of fund-raising events, such as the ITV Telethon, then BBC's Children in Need, Live Aid and Comic Relief, generating millions of pounds for charity. In a short film, author Anne Karpf asks how far should charity be a substitute for government action, and what effect do glitzy showbiz presentations have on those in need? In the studio television producers, charity workers and the public debate the issues raised in the film. Film director SANDRA GREENWOOD Series producer GILES OAKLEY
