10: Continued high blood pressure has indicated early ' pre-eclampsia' for GILLIAN BENNETT and doctors have decided to induce the birth of her baby. CLAIRE WOOLFORD finds out about induction and looks at a caesarian section performed under epidural analgesia - a method in which the mother remains conscious throughout, so she doesn't feel ' cheated' of the birth.

starring Walter Fitzgerald, Mervyn Johns, Ralph Michael, Robert Beatty
Ealing Studios' tribute to the Merchant Navy is based on the heroic recovery of MV San Demetrio by her crew in 1940. Nine hundred miles from Britain and carrying 12,000 tons of petrol, the ship was shelled by a German battleship and caught fire.
