Love of Seven Dolls by PAUL GALLICO abridged in three parts by EVANGELINE BANKS
Read by Valerie Sarruf (1)
Success in the theatre comes to very few and Mouche had failed so abjectly that not even the most tawdry theatre would employ her. There seems to be no reason to go on living and she's on the point of throwing herself into the Seine when someone, or something, speaks to her. Paul Gallico 's story has the charm of a fairy story, but it also has a painful reality. Producer JANE GRAHAM

In the first of three documentaries, Tony Van den Bergh investigates some of the advances and current experiments in Endocrinology. Few of the medical disciplines have made so many advances in the past 25 years and this evening some of Britain's leading experts talk about developments: including a doctor who has discovered a new endocrine in the stomach and believes that this makes easier the diagnosis of stomach disease; a specialist who believes he has conquered at least one cause of infertility; and another working on diabetes.
