There's No Telling
Very few of us have the courage to persist in asking the doctor to explain exactly what is wrong. It would be nice to be told as a matter of course but, more often than not. the doctor himself may not have been fully informed by the specialist. Where illness is concerned, communication between all those involved is vital.
Jane Finnis has been trying to find out where the system fails. Producers SUSAN SNAILUM and PAT TAYLOR

A glimpse into the closed worfd of gentlemen's clubs.
There can be few institutions so little attuned to the pace and pressure of 20th-century life as the gentleman's club. But despite heavy taxation, inflation and a slump on the Stock Exchange, this unique 19th-century institution remains.
Alexander Frater looks at the world of the gentleman's club. its unique and diverse history, some of its famous members, the literature it has inspired and the problems of survival it now faces. For their disappearance would sever our last link with an ordered and privileged world which yant fshed a lifetime ago. Producer JOHN KNIGHT

Six talks by Dr Colin Blake more, Fellow of Downing College, and Royal Society Locke Research Fellow at Cambridge University.
6: Madness and Morality
In his final lecture Dr Blakemore turns to the uses made of brain research. He argues that the techniques of brain manipulation by electronics and electrodes are far beyond the reach of any modern-day Alexander or Genghis Khan who might wish to manipulate us at the push of a button. To Dr Blakemore, brain research offers the hope for rational treatments of mental disease and even a greater understanding of the nature of man himself.
