by ROBERT WISTRICH and DAVID ROBINS
This week marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the man who - second to Lenin among the Bolsheviks - actually organised the October Revolution of 1917, created the Red Army which saved the Communist state from extinction in 1919-20, and produced a body of work providing the theoretical basis of a Marxist alternative to Stalinism. Arguably one of the most important shapers of our century. Trotsky was also a consummate autobiographer, and this programme draws from his own words the story of his dynamic and ultimately tragic life. with and Others in the cast: MICHAEL DERRINGTON

The Devfl's Decade
The 1930s started with the Slump, ended with the War and saw the growth of mass communications.
John Jacob examines the 30s, as they appear in an ambitious exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London. Fierce artistic arguments are represented by surrealism and abstraction contrasted with ' Pictures of the Year from the Royal Academy.
There are designs for town halls and semis, factories and Odeons as well as a glass bathroom and the ' minimum flat. Pylons inspired poets and people danced to the Big Band sound on the wireless. The look of the times is evoked by Dinky toys; Epstein's Genesis; a prototype Whittle jet engine; the swing doors from the Strand Palace Hotel and a bomb shelter. Producer
