On 5 November 1956, Anthony Eden, as Prime Minister of Great Britain, sent troops into the Suez Canal. Suez became an international crisis. The arguments still continue. Was he right? Why did he never regret his action? Was it, as many people suggest, ill-health that drove him to such a precipitous action? Or was it perhaps, an act of foresight that has been misunderstood?

Last of four programmes Fair Game
Do pheasants die in agony? Do fish feel pain? Angling is by far the most popular pastime in Britain and shooting is no longer the rich man's preserve. Richard Ryder , campaigner for animal rights, demands that those who wish to kill for sport must prove their ability to do so humanely and skilfully, not merely to their peers, but to a national examining body. Before an invited audience of shooters and anglers, professionals and enthusiasts, he has just ten minutes to put his case. Desmond Wilcox referees the ensuing debate from Tackley village,
Oxfordshire. This is the last in the current series. Research VIRGINIA HENRY Producer SHARON BANOFF
