A series of highly personal films
Dom Moraes, poet and journalist, examines his situation as a coloured Englishman who suddenly feels he is an immigrant
"On April 20, 1968, Enoch Powell made his notorious speech in Birmingham on race relations. It suddenly seemed that he was expressing the feeling of the man in the street in England. It seemed to me that the whole of my life here must be based on a false premise, and I suddenly started to think - what about the other poor sods, the million and a half immigrants in this country. I suddenly felt for the first time that I should identify with them."
Dom Moraes looks back over his own life - his childhood in India; his time at Oxford; his literary success, winning the Hawthornden Prize for his poetry at the age of twenty; his marriage into an English county family - and then goes to Bradford to see to what extent he can identify with ordinary immigrants.

The World Through European Eyes
Fifty million watch TV In Britain, 300 million watch it in the rest of Europe. Today television's antennae grope across large areas of Europe's skyline from the Shannon to the Volga. The television screen can unite millions of viewers, but equally it can divide them. There are differences of kind and of degree, of quantity and of quality, of emphasis and interpretation.
Each week Europa highlights some of these aspects by presenting the stories and issues that have interested some of the millions of television viewers across a continent.
