The BBC's correspondent in Sydney drinks up at one of the world's loneliest pubs. Life for Australia's early white settlers began with an orgy of drinking and debauchery; and the drinking, at least, still goes on. Red Harrison reflects on what makes Australians such ferocious boozers, spending a third of all their food bills on alcohol.

The NSPCC was founded 100 years ago to try to abate the abuse of Victorian children so vividly depicted by Dickens. Times may have changed and the Society's inspectors are no longer known as 'the cruelty men', but still children appear to be among the most vulnerable to maltreatment. In this documentary, the role of the Society - from the way it raises its money, to how it spends it - is examined and an assessment is made of what it does ... for the sake of the children.
