Kathleen Heime as Amy in Mrs Bleasdale 's Lodger by RACHEL BILLINGTON
'I saw that Hestor, the sly creature, knew very well that my lodger had just arrived. That's why she'd come. She'd come to check up on me. She'd not shown much interest when I'd been trying to divorce her father. I could see it was only curiosity and not charity that had brought her.'

The Middle Way
Presented by John Eidinow
In his best-selling political testament published last month. President Giscard d'Estaing describes his ideal for French society as being the middle way. between Marxism and capitalism. But his new government's tough anti-infiation package has provoked the biggest protest marches since 1968 and there are few signs of the President's wish for a ' thawing ' of French political society being realised. What impact will this programme of austerity have on the country's economic future and on political alignments in and outside Government? .How relevant is the President's brand of liberalism to the France of today?
