Introduced by Keith Dewhurst
A special programme this week, direct from the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool

Six Inches from the Wall
'Anything hanging or standing - but no more than six inches from the wall' - that's how the judges of the John Moores Exhibition at Liverpool define entries for this year's contest. Once upon a time they would have simply said 'painting'. So how far has art got now? Who is the £3,000 prize winner? Why art contests?
Some of the questions to be asked at this week's opening of Britain's major two-yearly art competition.

Speak, Memory
The title the Russian-born novelist Vladimir Nabokov gave to the autobiography of his early life. Now living in Switzerland Nabokov recalls the memories of that book in an exclusive television self-portrait.

The Soldier's Tale
This work by Stravinsky was originally staged in 1918. Now it has been brilliantly re-created in its original form by the Theatre de la Tempete, a French group, visiting the Round House tonight and tomorrow - with Jean Babilee, the great ballet dancer, as the Devil and Diego Masson, one of France's leading musical personalities, as conductor.
