The fourth programme in an eight-part series on matters of interest and Importance to everyone concerned with the education of their children.
Barry Turner and Maureen O'Connor purvey news and opinion about educational issues, respond to points raised in listeners' letters, and explore some of the ways of getting the best out of the education system. This week in particular they look at the right of parents, confirmed by both major political parties, to select their children's schools, and ask is parental choice a myth or a reality?

Unemployment in Britain is edging upwards: some forecasters say it will reach two million next year, yet it is not a hotly debated political issue. Does the number of jobless matter now that being unemployed no longer means hunger and destitution? Are the unemployed the casualties of progress, or those of a slack economy? What solutions can be offered?

Mabel John Rye as Dr Fowler Michael Harbeur as Frank Cocker and Steve Hodson as Gregory Blow
When Auntie Mabel decides to leave her not inconsiderable fortune to Dr Fowler's Clinic for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Korsakoff's Psychosis, Frank and Gregory, who had hoped to be her beneficiaries, are curious to find out what Korsakoff's Psychosis is. The dictionary, they discover, defines it as ' a mental disorder, often producing a proneness to exaggerated boasting and deception'. Auntie Mabel considers that her late husband died of this condition.
