Six views on different aspects of being a woman with Anne Brown
4:ToyahWillcox Doing it Her Way
She was picked on at school for having a speech defect and a limp. She never grew taller than four foot 11 inches, and she has one 0-level to her name. With nothing to lose, what could she do but aim for total perfection? Toyah Willcox has made hit records, acted with Olivier, and emerged from the ashes of punk as one of the figureheads of youth culture. She looks at today and tomorrow.

A series of montage documentaries
8: Generation of Strangers

'Indians use curry and onions to wash themselves....'
'I'm extremely reluctant to employ coloured people because frankly, they're so damned prejudiced themselves....'
First broadcast in August 1964, this documentary looks at the problems of Caribbean and Asian immigrants in the Midlands; their schooling, their job prospects, their social lives.
Actuality next week will reveal what has become of the people who took part in the 21 years since this programme was made. Producer ANNE OWEN BBC Birmingham (R)

A series of unlikely stories by ALPHONSE ALLAIS
English translation by MILES
KINGTON Alphonse Allais was the man who invented the frosted glass aquarium tank for shy fish. He was also a humorous writer whose bizarre pieces appeared in Parisian magazines and newspapers at the turn of the century. Allais is now little known or admired in his own country. Might his humour be too English for French tastes? 4: A Careful Criminal and Other Tales
