In six programmes Bryan Forbes tells the story of British theatrical tradition. 5: Looking for an Audience
'When I was at rada Claude Rains felt sorry for me, which endeared him to me very much, and he said " Don't waste your time here, you'll only get the sack and it'll break your heart. Go out and find an audience ". And I thought it was a wonderful thing to say to a terrible, awful-looking. hot-handed, pimple-faced actor with obviously nowhere to go.'

Six programmes
2: European Court of Justice
In future in transactions which cross the frontiers we must no longer speak or think of English law as something on its own.
(LORD DENNING)
One of the little-known by-products of .Britain's entry into the Common Market was the imposition on our law of a new court, against whose judgments there is no appeal: the European Court of Justice at Luxembourg. Gradually judges from nine different countries are changing British laws about, among other things, equal pay and business practices. How does this strange court work? How does it surmount differences of language and legal tradition? Is British law being taken over by an alien code?
Among those discussing these questions with Hugo Young are two judges of the court, LORD MACKENZIE STUART and PIERRE PESCA-TORE, Advocate-General JEAN-PIERRE WARNER, LORD DENNING. LORD SCARMAN, LORD JUSTICE TEMPLEMAN and.ANTHONY LESTER, QC. Producer ANNE SLOMAN
