says Dr Benjamin Spock, as he attacks present-day American society in this series of highly personal films.

Until a few years ago Dr Spock, the legendary baby doctor, was known only for his book on bringing up children, a work which enjoyed world sales rivalling those of the Bible.
But with the growing proliferation of nuclear weapons he felt he had a duty to speak up in opposition. Since then he has become increasingly active as a leading opponent of the war in Vietnam.
His view of the United States in this One Pair of Eyes is a sombre, even frightening one. To him, America is clearly a police state. But he sees hope in the moral indignation and courage of the young. The generation he now works with as public figure is also the generation which, as paediatrician, he helped to raise.

The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Rugby League, Bingo... and a poet or two
Castleford is a mining town in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Known to most Saturday viewers for its Cup-winning Rugby League team, Review pays it a visit to look at its other activities. Yorkshire people traditionally work hard and play hard. The film looks at their doing both at this time when many of their traditions are being questioned.

Afterwards playwright David Mercer ('My auntie lives under the railway bridge at Castleford') will be talking with fellow Yorkshireman David Halliwell about what it means to be a Northerner.

Starring Bruce Forsyth and The Four Tops, Mrs Mills

'At last,' said Bruce Forsyth when he was asked to appear in tonight's show, 'a chance to do something I've always wanted.' So tonight he appears in a role that previously only his cabaret audiences have seen - that of singer. Not only in a full-scale production number - as Mr Bojangle in Minstrel rig - but in a handful of straight ballads as well. So, at last, Bruce really is 'in charge.'
