'It is only about things that do not interest one that one can give a really unbiased opinion, which is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is absolutely valueless' (Oscar Wilde)

This series of programmes is about valuable, that is, honestly biased opinion of every shade and weight on every subject possible.

This week's guests: Albert Rowe, Claire Rayner, Dick Taverne, MP and workers from a United Biscuit factory

Some of the best of this Western film series

Kilroy is a saddle tramp who walks into the High Chaparral, his saddle over his shoulder. Buck knows something of his past and is uneasy, Blue admires his ability with a gun, Big John his skill at the chessboard. He soon becomes a popular and valuable member of the team, but the past has a way of catching up with a man.

Antonia Fraser takes A Life in My Hands in this series of highly personal films

Lady Antonia Fraser is the best-selling biographer of Cromwell and Mary Queen of Scots. To her, biography is a special and important art, with unusual responsibilities and dangers. One single book can easily change the attitudes of a generation to a great public figure. In re-creating her subjects, she leaves her stamp on the pattern of history. Yet at the same time she is a biographer who has a never-ending love affair with her art.
