Building the Impossible Railway 5: The Desperate Days
Canada's first railroad, coast to coast, is still far from a reality in 1883. Although passes have at last been found in the Rockies, to build through them is another matter. The Laurentian Shield, a vast wasteland north of Lake Superior, also gobbles up the Canadian Pacific Railway's funds. To add worries to Sir John A. Mac donald's Tory government, there is trouble at Duck Lake, where ten Mounties are killed and the rebellion by Louis Riel and his Indian half breeds, the Metis, starts in earnest. There are times when a government seems slow to act, and this is one of them. Narrated by PIERRE BERTON

A discussion on child sterilisation Recent cases involving sterilisation of children under 16 have raised important questions about their rights. At present parents take the decision to sterilise in consultation with the doctor. But do doctors pressure parents too much, and is their advice adequate? Should parents also be advised by psychologists, teachers, social workers and even lawyers? Should parents even have such unquestioned power over their child's future?
These issues will be discussed by a specially invited audience at the Royal Institution under the chairmanship of Professor Sir George Porter , FRS Among those taking part will be Michael Brudenell consultant gynaecologist Dr Jack Bavin consultant psychiatrist
Ian Kennedy Law lecturer
Dr Hugh Jolly consultant paediatrician Nigel Harris , surgeon
Parents of mentally handicapped children
