What is the connection between the South African economy and ours? Morality aside, how efficient is 'separate development' as an economic system? David Taylor has been to investigate the economic relationship between Britain and South Africa, and to find out where the balance of advantage lies.
As a market for our exports South Africa was worth £308 million last year, and British firms have at least £500 million invested in South Africa. Is this money well-placed? What is the true value of our South African connection?

Philip Jenkinson presents a brief resume of the careers of three young independent British film directors: Kevin Brownlow, Barney Platts-Mills, and Anthony Simmons, whose work is featured in the current World Cinema season.
Starring Pauline Murray, Sebastian Shaw
Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo's ten-year struggle to make this film is already part of cinema folklore, but unlike most causes celebres the film stands on its own merits. "It Happened Here" is an ambitious story of what it might have been like had there been a German occupation of Britain in the second world war.
