This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.

The success of medicine has been so great that we tend to take our doctors for granted.
In America, doctors practise the most advanced medicine in the world yet life expectancy is falling. The reason is that while exotic diseases may be brilliantly treated a vast amount of ordinary suffering is neglected because doctors are not interested in it. The same thing might be happening in this country.

Tonight Horizon looks at the methods of training our next generation of doctors. It follows medical students through their course at St Thomas's Hospital. They learn every rare syndrome in the book; but is it possible, the programme asks, with only six days spent in general practice in six years of hospital training, for the student to have any idea what the real needs of our community might be?

'I have known for years and so have most of you that there were great Victorian architects, but they have never been given their due. Today, thank goodness, we can see Victorian architecture in perspective.'
In the first of four programmes Sir John Betjeman looks at the work of Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin

"There is a precision about his informed enthusiasm which enables one to see the most familiar buildings, such as the Houses of Parliament, in a new light... Sir John, who succeeds in making his conducted tours seem addressed to a personal friend, can move without pause from an appreciation of shape and proportion to an anecdote about an Irish peer rolling the full length of a Barry staircase."
