In this week's special edition the BBC's political editor, Hardiman Scott , looks back over the Parliamentary session to analyse the problems, tactics and achievements of the country's first minority government for more than 40 years.
How far were policies trimmed to meet the delicate political balance? What effects did the new Nationalist members have on the house? What does Europe feel about the minority situation? Are large Parliamentary majorities a thing of the past? HARDIMAN SCOTT reports.

ANDRES BOSSARD, BERNIE SCHURCH and FLORIANA FRASSETTO are three young mime artists who got together in 1971 and have since achieved world-wide success with their unique programme of mime, in which they conjure up all sorts of insects, birds, animals - and humans - with the aid of some extraordinary masks. H. M. Bateman
A nostalgic look at the cartoons of H. M. BATEMAN , which provide a document of the taboos and conventions of the 20s and 30s. The Floating World
A film about the popular art of 18th- and 19th-century Japan. The coloured woodcuts of the time conjure up a dream-like world of beautiful but weird landscapes, warriors, exotically-dressed women, fantasy and nightmare.
