Who's Sorry Now?
Five years ago the government created the personal pensions industry -and a big problem.
The government now promises that the industry's system of "self-regulation" is to be tightened up, but reporter
Vivian White reveals that even after all the publicity, there are still pensions salespeople giving expensive, bad advice. Producer Sam Collyns

Until Tony (Goodbye Cruel World) Marchant's love story was shown in 1989, Keith Barron was beginning to specialise in comedy with sitcoms such as Late Expectations and Duty Free.
This was a chance for him to get back to "the serious stuff".
The three-part series, starting its repeats tonight, is about a taxi driver in a new town whose disturbing encounter with a much younger, married woman, leads to a passionate and traumatic affair. Apparently the part possessed a special significance for Barron. He told Radio Times: "I've always said that if my acting dried up, I'd drive a taxi." With recent appearances In Haggard and The Good Guys, it's unlikely that he'll be doing "the knowledge" yet.

Tonight's programme is given over to an interview with one of me film industry's best known outsiders, Robert Altman.
In a frank discussion that covers his beliefs and work ethics, Altman explains how he has survived the Hollywood jungle (don't worry the accountants and they won't worry you) and describes how he has been in and out of favour with the film industry since he made MASH in 1970. When Barry Norman suggests to Robert Altman that he is a maverick, the film director denies it but says "not everything has to be done the same way".
Since MASH, Altman has made 30 films including Nashville, Popeye and, in 1992, The Player. He says he is proud of them all though: "these films are like children to me and you tend to love your least successful child the most".
His latest film, Short Cuts, has just earned him an Oscar nomination for best director.
