A special film profile of Jean Monnet prepared by 'The Money Programme'

"It is not natural for men to unite; they need to be forced and pressed by circumstances."
Jean Monnet, today recognised as the 'Father of Europe,' has spent his life persuading Europe's leaders that they had no choice but to unite. In a real way, the European Community which Britain is in the process of joining is his creation. Yet Jean Monnet is little known in public; he is a statesman's statesman. In tonight's film the Prime Minister, The Rt Hon Edward Heath, MP, and Germany's Chancellor Willy Brandt talk about Monnet and his work.
Monnet didn't hold political office, but he worked through politicians because, as he says himself, 'it takes a long time to get to power, but it doesn't take long to explain to the man in power what has to be done.'
By creating the European Coal and Steel Community, Monnet turned Europe into a reality. In this rare personal interview with Alan Watson he says 'your questioning has made me seek and understand things of my past which I have not understood before.'

Donald Pleasence telling a ghost story

"How to Talk Dirty and Influence People" - the title of the autobiography of Lenny Bruce, the American comedian, whose humour to many people was a sort of pornography but to others was merely a sharp and accurate attack on the hypocrisy of our society. His life has now been transformed into a brilliantly successful musical, currently running in New York, with an outstanding performance by Cliff Gorman - one of The Boys in the Band. In this film the new stage 'Lenny' talks to Clive Barnes, the New York theatre critic, about the character he plays 'Lenny Bruce, hero and martyr.'

"And Miss Carter Wore Pink": an affectionate look back on New Year's Eve at 70-year-old Helen Bradley's paintings of an Edwardian childhood.
