'Someone comes along with something original and, whoops, they all come in, riding on the gravy train' (Journalist Roy Carr)

It didn't take the British record companies long to notice they were missing out when the Americans invented the weenybopper singing star. The latest to join the race to manufacture a British little Jimmy Osmond is EMI, the world's biggest record company. Their product, 12-year-old Darren Burn, seems to have all the right ingredients: he's pretty, he can sing and his dad's an executive at EMI.
John Pitman has followed the marketing of Master Burn, Ricky Wilde and the James Boys, and talked to their families.

Tony Bilbow and Philip Jenkinson examine four unusual films - Tout Va Bien about a sit-down factory strike, by the controversial French film-maker Jean-Luc Godard; A Nest of Gentlefolk, a study of displaced persons by the Russian director Konchalovsky; Asylum, an experiment in communal living that arose from the work of psychoanalyst R. D. Laing; and W.R. Mysteries of the Organism which explores the ideas of another psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, with comments from the film's Yugoslav director Dusan Makavejev.
