Strictly for the French is how Yvonne Mitchell sums up childhood on the Cote d'Azur in this series of highly personal films
For the past eight years Yvonne Mitchell, the actress and novelist, has lived on the French Riviera.
She has watched her 13-year-old daughter Cordelia receive a very different education at the local schools from anything she would have experienced in Britain.
In her One Pair of Eyes Yvonne Mitchell compares the two. She asks: can the highly disciplined French system, with its long hours, its emphasis on learning by rote and discouragement of self-expression, do more for a child than our own, more liberal methods?

The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman
Of all communist states in the world, with the possible exception of Yugoslavia, Cuba is the one that encourages the most artistic experiment. The result has been a flowering of creative activities and an enthusiasm which sometimes clashes with the underlying view of the authorities that art is a weapon of state.
This week Review reports from Cuba, with an on-the-spot look at a dynamic new film industry, the National Folkloric Ballet Company (prima ballerina Alicia Alonso), and three modern theatre companies.
There are also interviews with leading writers about the role of artists in Castro's revolution and how much freedom is possible in a communist regime.
