Written by Mary-Jean Hasler
'If only I had been treated by a lady doctor!' That cry by a dying friend gave
Elizabeth Blackwell the reason she had been searching for.
Born in Bristol in 1821, her family emigrated to the USA when she was 11. There her determination to become a qualified doctor met with tremendous opposition. The fact that she did succeed is a tribute to this remarkable pioneering woman.

John Lake was not in the Wodehouse image of a manservant. He was a chauffeur who was only occasionally called upon to play the role of valet, but his job brought him into close contact with 'high society.' In conversation with Leigh Crutchley he talks about his experiences.

If you met Jane in the street you would never guess her problem. With her long blonde hair and black maxi-coat she looks like a thousand other girls-a credit to any family. She is in fact a heroin addict, who twice in the past year has been dangerously ill as a result of her addiction. This programme traces Jane's life from childhood in an attempt to discover what led this girl from a comfortable middle-class family to take to drugs. Jane's story is followed by a discussion on some of the medical, social, and psychological problems posed by addiction.
