In a Class of Their Own
In the last ten years, small village primary schools have been disappearing at the rate of one a week. Along with the local bus services, pubs and churches, they have been quietly shut down-often without any fuss from despondent villagers who see it as the last blow to the life of their community. But suddenly country people are no longer content to allow city-based officials a free hand to destroy the very heart of their villages. They have adopted the traditional urban tactics of protest with a speed and an eagerness that has taken many officials and politicians by surprise. In Cumbria, plans to review the future of small village primary schools have had to be withdrawn and reconsidered after running into a vigorous and determined campaign to stop further closures. Brass Tacks reports from the village of Uldale - population 180. Its 200-year-old school has 24 children and was selected for review by the Cumbrian education committee along with two other schools in the area. But the committee reckoned without the deep feelings of pride the people of Uldale feel for their school. In tonight's programme, the education policy-makers, who feel there may be a case for bigger and better rural schools, talk to the villagers of Uldale, and others who fear they may be destroying something which is both small and beautiful.

The Tichborne Affair starring
Hugh Keays-Byrne
The claim by a bankrupt Australian butcher to be Sir Roger Tich borne, missing heir to the Tichborne title and estates, led ultimately to one of the most famous British criminal trials of the 19th century. This intriguing drama recreates the twists and turns of the Tichborne Claimant's protracted legal battle with the outraged family.

Five public talks on race relations. 3: Asians in Britain:
Problem or Opportunity?
Dr Bhikhu Parekh , Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Hull
DR PAREKH is chairman of an Indian youth association and a member of the Home Office Advisory Committee on Race Relations Research. He reviews the ways the first generation of Asian immigrants have adapted to life in Britain, and considers how the second generation - with their different expectations - may react to a sense of discrimination or insecurity in our society. He goes on to explore what contributions Asians can make, and are making, to the British way of life.
