Now and at the Hour of Our Birth by BRUCE STEWART with Lee Montague Helen Horton Robert Beatty Ed Bishop
Paul Maxwell
Was Jim Jones , the leader of the People's Temple (whose members committed mass suicide in Guyana in 1978) insane? If he was, then the madness did not manifest itself so much in the new social order he intended to create, but in the methods he used to bring it about - the methods of a paranoid whose mind was under the constant influence of drugs.
GEOFFREY BRAWN (organ and celeste)
Directed by MARTIN JENKINS (Repeated: next Sun 2.30) Preview: page 23

BKKVuwimaaMiujgijiH*MMHres2i(£3£ William Trevor
I don't write about villains and lovers, but I do write about the possessed or the obsessed...
A William Trevor novel, short story, or television play is instantly recognisable by its remarkable combination of the comic, the grotesque and the tragic. His first novel, The Old Boys, which won the Hawlhornden Prize in 1964, concerned the septuagenarian intrigues surrounding the election of a chairman for an Old Boys' Association.
In his latest hook Other People's World published this week, the worlds of a middle-aged widow and an actor collide with horrific results.
WILLIAM TREVOR talks to Mark Storey about his diverse activities as novelist, short-story writer and dramatist.
