A documentary compiled by Peter Jukes. The highlight of Devon Fagan 's week is Saturday night when he goes to a disco with his mates. This young carpenter, who lives in Tottenham, prepares for a night out with extraordinary thoroughness. 'Everything has got to be right'; his mohican above all. People should look at him and murmur: 'This is no riff-raff off the street. I like the way he looks. I rate that guy.' But racial prejudice gets past the bouncers more easily than he can sometimes.
With Devon Fagan , the manager, the barman, the disc jockey, the lighting man, the bouncer at the Camden Palace - and some of the girls who frequent it.

by Emlyn Williams, adapted for radio by Dafydd Gruffydd
With Anna Massey as Miss Moffat and George Winter as Morgan Evans

It is 1895 in a Welsh mining village, a place where children are only children until the age of 12 and are then sent over the hills and down the mines. Into this environment comes the iron-willed, blue-stockinged English teacher Miss Moffat.
She is determined to bully and inspire her prize pupil, Morgan Evans, up and out of the pits towards the liberating freedom of learning.
