John Pitman talks to Hero de Ranee, who has been a part of London's theatreland for more years than she cares to remember.
She began at the age of 10 - singing a lullaby with 11 other tots in cots at the Coliseum. She also danced with Pavlova - as a snow flake.
Today, all that's gone. But her name still appears on the bills - only now it's 'Hero de Ranee at the piano,' playing as the audience arrives and coming on again in the interval.
'It's not quite like being part of the main show. But it's still the theatre.'
'I almost fell in love with a famous man; he was a violin act, he had long eyelashes, played the violin and it was the violin that attracted me.'

Reporters James Astor, Jeremy James, John Pitman, Denis Tuohy, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

In the first of two programmes we look at the evidence for the consumer's case; and next week, with the manufacturers, citizens and authorities, as well as Ralph Nader himself, we debate the future.
