Tonight: Gale is Dead
Gale was beautiful, intelligent, and - according to everyone who knew her - had much to offer; everything to live for. Recently, aged 19 and a drug addict, she was found dead-in the filthy basement of a house in Chelsea.
Man Alive first met her ten months ago when making a programme about people who had been brought up in children's homes. What was apparent even then was her total loss of hope, her disbelief in any future. Now she is dead, the people who were in her life - her mother, her friends, and those who cared for her in and out of various institutions-examine in this Man Alive the short and hopeless life of a girl whom many tried to help but who in the end felt she belonged to no one. They ask: need she have died?

Personal reflections on paintings

Malcolm Cormack, Keeper of Paintings at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, discusses one of the gallery's most striking groups of pictures, painted in 16th-century Venice by Palma Vecchio, Paolo Veronese, and - most important of all-Titian.
In 1856 the Vice-Chancellor was so shocked by the sensuality of these paintings that he wrote to demand their removal from the Main Hall.
