Live from the Manchester studios. We've had suggestions from all over the country - so tonight's national issue could stem from one of your own local concerns. As usual you can register your views while the programme is televised live by ringing [number removed]. And you can help us plan future programmes by letting us know what else is important to you. For instance, quite a few people have asked us to look into the problems for those left behind, when a person goes missing. If this is something that affects you, please write to us at New Broadcasting House, Manchester.

A play by Dennis Potter based on "Father and Son" by Edmund Gosse
with Alan Badel as Philip Gosse, Max Harris as Edmund Gosse

Philip Gosse was a brilliant evolutionary scientist determined to maintain his belief in a primitive and personal God. Eight-year-old Edmund, growing up in a bleak house without his mother, has to help his father come to terms with the conflict....

"A memorable television event. Unquestionably the best drama production this year." (Daily Telegraph)
"Among the best and most satisfying of Dennis Potter's plays... one of those rare plays I could see again and again" (Daily Mail)
(Repeat)
(Another Dennis Potter play, "Double Dare," on BBC1 tomorrow - not Wales)

Adelina Patti at Craig-y-Nos
The most celebrated and most expensive prima-donna of her time, who demanded and got £1,000 a concert in the 1880s, lived for over 40 years at Craig-y-Nos Castle in the Upper Swansea Valley in Wales. She became and remained a legend in the district. Here she built her private opera house and made those early gramophone records, today's faint echoes of a voice that once captured the whole world of Victorian music. with and a section of the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra leader COLIN STAVELEY conducted by David Lloyd-Jones
