with Barry Bucknell
A series of fortnightly programmes in which Barry Bucknell demonstrates new methods and materials that will help people to make their homes more pleasant to live in.

Three small occasional tables with heat-resistant tops, which nest together to save space. Besides making these, he gives details of the waste-disposal unit which he designed for an earlier programme in the series and which he undertook to test thoroughly before he issued detailed instructions. The unit has passed the test.
For a pamphlet containing instructions, plans, and a list of materials for making the occasional tables and the waste-disposal unit shown in this programme, send a crossed postal order for 1s. to: BBC Publications [address removed]

A fortnightly magazine of the arts.
Introduced by Huw Wheldon.

The Lost Michelangelo
Between 1492 and 1494 Michelangelo carved a wooden crucifix for the church of Santo Spirito in Florence. It 'disappeared' from the church 100 years later and since then has always been listed as one of his lost works. In September of last year it was rediscovered in the same church by a German art historian, Dr. Margaret Lisner.
Michael Ayrton tells the story of its discovery and the dramatic circumstances of its making; and watches its restoration in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.

The Father
by August Strindberg.
Trevor Howard in scenes from the new production at the Piccadilly Theatre, London, and an interview with the director, Caspar Wrede.
