Fishing is a way of life on the east coast of Scotland, but in recent years it has become an increasingly hard one. Many families have sold their boats and the younger men have taken easier, more lucrative jobs on dry land.
But the Mitchell family have survived by combining the old ways with the new. Producer ANNE BROWN BBC Birmingham (R)

A portrait of Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) written by ARTHUR JACOBS and based on the composer's letters and diaries, and also on the memoirs of the London music critic Hermann Klein.
Sullivan's diaries and letters throw a new light on the personal and professional life of this Victorian musician who was born the son of a military bandmaster and came to dominate the London scene. Gambler, charmer of women, racehorse owner, friend of royalty, aristocracy and the establishment, and of course composer, Sullivan regarded his 'serious' music and his attempt at grand opera as much more important than his collaborations with W. S. Gilbert , whom he never much liked and with whom he frequently quarrelled. With Bill Homewood as Arthur Sullivan
Estelle Kohler as his American mistress Fanny Ronalds and Nigel Douglas as the music critic Hermann Klein

Radio Festival Special
Should the government now deregulate radio? In other words, should anyone be allowed to broadcast what they and their listeners want, provided they keep within the law and stick to the frequency allocated?
In this special edition of You the Jury recorded in Bristol during last month's Radio Festival Week, Bill MacDonald ,
Managing Director of Radio Hallam, proposes that:
The government should free the radio airwaves as much as technically possible.
He is opposed by the former Managing Director of BBC Radio, Aubrey Singer.
