Time now to sow annuals for flowering in the greenhouse early next year; cyclamen and indoor chrysanthemums must now be brought back into the greenhouse; time, too, to pot bulbs for Christmas flowering.

Have three years of accelerating inflation changed our basic habits in spending, saving and managing our money? In one year 1971-72, borrowing from banks for personal spending tripled. Borrowing through hp, credit cards and mortgages has been growing at a much faster rate than saving. Has 'live now - pay later' finally routed thrift? Are we riding the wall of debt or is it riding us? Over the past three years The Money Programme and Money at Work have charted the switch-back of our economic progress - it looks as if there will be some interesting ups and downs this autumn.

The first in a season of films by this distinguished French director
Tonight's film starring Nadine Nortier, Marie Cardinal, Paul Hebert

Mouchette is a 14-year-old school-girl living with her alcoholic father and bedridden mother in a small French peasant community. Isolated and friendless, she is shunned by her school fellows and repelled by the hostile world around her.
With characteristic economy of dialogue, Bresson paints a moving portrait of his tragic child heroine and her world which has all the elements of a religious parable.

Michael Dean talks to Fou Ts'ong

The concert pianist Fou Ts'ong was born in Shanghai in China. When he was 23 he fled and came to England in order to go on playing the western music he loves which the Communist regime condemned. He never saw his parents again. In 1966, after being persecuted by fanatical Red Guards, they committed suicide in Shanghai. Fou Ts'ong now lives in exile in London but travels widely giving concerts all over the world.
