The Birds of Tobago
The red-crowned woodpecker increases his courtship success by drumming on a corrugated iron roof; the tiny bananaquit is so fond of milk and sugar that you can hardly keep it out of your breakfast cereal; the blue-backed manakins have the most extraordinary display dance - for males only. Terry White talks about the beautiful and fascinating birds of Tobago, and plays his recordings of their voices.

A series in which current and controversial issues are put on trial before Dick Taverne , QC, and an audience of jurors in Broadcasting House, London This evening's proposition:
The main aim of Universities should be vocational - to produce the highly qualified men and women needed by industry and society.
It is proposed by Lord Crowther-Hunt, formerly Minister of State for Higher Education; and opposed by Professor Ken Minogue , author of The Concept of a University.
Each advocate will call his witnesses, cross-question his opponent's, and argue his case.
The jury will vote at the beginning and end of the trial so that a swing of opinion may be measured and a verdict reached. Producer HUGH PURCELL

Are the new towns part of the solution to inner city squalor - or are they part of the problem?
Since the war the new towns have provided housing for the city slum-dwellers and jobs for the urban unemployed. But at the same time the big cities have been losing population - Manchester 20 per cent and Liverpool 40 per cent since 1961 - and the Government's recently announced strategy for the inner city areas included a brake on new town expansion.
Noel Boaden reports from the North West, where the contrast between the two approaches is sharpest; and from Strathclyde, where the cancellation of the Stonehouse New Town has been followed by the funding of an ambitious urban renewal project for Glasgow.
