Alan Whicker looks at Two Sides of Fleet Street
As a nation, we have an enormous appetite for newsprint: we read more, per head, than any country in the world.

Lord Thomson's Times, read by everyone who 'matters'... Yet in today's television-educated age, popular and quality papers draw closer together.

Each week they'll have a guest star, and the first is Donovan, who is such an admirer of Esther that he has given her one of his new songs, 'Lord of the Reedy River' - a song which he had said he would give to no one. She sings it tonight, accompanied by Donovan and Abi on their guitars.
