Jim Douglas Henry talks to Lotte Reiniger

This week: The Alternative Press
The national and established press is being challenged by a new kind of journalism. Few of us can fail to have noticed the growth of so-called 'underground' papers. Many are shocked. Others applaud the presence of a radical, anti establishment, journalism.
The people who produce these publications see them not as underground but as alternative. They are committed to the belief that the existing press is too wedded to the establishment and ignores, or misrepresents the realities of ordinary people's lives and their problems. Jonathan Dimbleby and a Man Alive team have looked at three alternative papers: IT - the founding father of the London tabloid underground; Socialist Worker - a revolutionary weekly aimed at the working man; Tuebrook Bugle - a militant community paper produced by the people of a Liverpool twilight zone.
Who runs them? Who reads them? Can they survive?

Outwardly the Groomkirbys' suburban semi-detached seems like all the others in the street, but the house contains among other unusual features, a replica of the Old Bailey in the living room, and a choir of weighing machines!
In N.F. Simpson's surrealist comedy each member of the family has a private fantasy world into which to escape.
