A series of film reports by Trevor Philpott

The Salvation Army was born to save the souls of the inhabitants of the Victorian East End-and it was literally more like warfare than religion. General Booth's 'soldiers' suffered humiliation, injury, even death. They saw the devil in poverty, drunkenness, disease-and they fought him with bands playing and banners flying. The bands are still playing, the banners still flying. But what devil are they fighting now? How much has the Salvation War changed - and how much is it still the same?

Alphonse Mucha and Art Nouveau: In the current exhibition '100 Years of Posters' at the Lords Gallery in London the name of Alphonse Mucha looms large. George Melly looks at the man whose posters in Paris in the 1890s represented the sudden dramatic flowering of the movement called Art Nouveau.

Eighty Years On: Novelist and playwright Enid Bagnold, who talks to James Mossman, broke the taboo of upper-class Edwardian England. At 80 she is still as free in her mind as many of those who might think they have left her behind.

Renaissance: A new pop group, but with a difference. Renaissance is made up of people from other, first-generation groups, who joined forces, they say, so as to make their money in greater personal freedom. The result is some splendid music.
