Down with all parties! is the cry of John Creasey, writer and one-man political movement, in this series of highly personal films.

At 61, John Creasey, creator of such world-famous figures as 'The Toff' and 'Gideon of the Yard,' is the world's most prolific writer. He has written to date 543 books. His world sale is 65 million. He is translated into 28 languages. The minimum sale of each of his books - either 'by John Creasey' or one of his numerous pseudonyms - is estimated at 100,000.
But for all that, the burning passion in Creasey's life is not writing, but his one-man campaign to reform British politics. He has no time for the Party struggle at Westminster, and has in fact formed his own political movement - All-Party Alliance. The APA has fought four by-elections always with the same candidate - John Creasey. His own philosophy of life is called 'Self-ism,' by means of which he says 'all the untapped sources of good in men will one day be released.'

The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Old Piper, New Tune
More and more young people are taking an interest in art, but not the art of their fathers. Many reject traditional forms, from grand opera to paint on canvas. For them the value of art is not measured by a product but by what they might call 'a total experience.'
The Arts Council, often accused of being out of touch, has been trying, through its New Activities Committee, to decide what regular funds, if any, should go to these experimental activities, and if so, how.
As its investigation proceeded, the Committee was attacked by press and Members of Parliament who thought they detected 'do-gooders' lavishing public money on anarchists and drug fiends; while to many of the young experimenters themselves the Committee seemed dilettante and un-democratic. Often though its money was welcome, its members were not.
Review has filmed the Committee's work and the very varied offerings of the new activists themselves to produce an unusual picture of the establishment. and the fringe.
