Peter Hobday reports on the people and the events that affect your money, your savings and your business affairs. With a General Election possible at any time, the Conservatives are stepping up their appeals to companies for more cash. But the Party depends more on its energetic fund-raisers in the constituencies than on business to keep financially afloat. How ready are the Conservatives to fight a General Election and could state aid help? Reporters Paul Barry

Richard Rodney Bennett chose tonight's film partly because ' it's a very brave attempt to deal with real tensions' and partly because of the importance of the music score: ' It was one of the first films that came out of Hollywood that really spoke a contemporary language.'
Dr Mclver heads a psychiatric clinic called The Castle. His marriage is on the slide and he is at loggerheads with the former head of the clinic, Dr Devanal. Then a seemingly trivial argument about some new curtains sparks a major drama that affects the lives of patients and staff alike.

Tonight:
Alcoholism -
An epidemic in the making. Presented by ACCEPT
'Alcoholism is Britain's fastest-growing illness. Informed estimates show that as many as 600,000 people are now alcohol dependants and at least 600,000 more have a serious drink problem.
' Tonight's programme shows the work of ACCEPT, a voluntary professional organisation which in three years has grown to be the largest drink counselling service and alcoholism treatment centre in the country today, and talks to some of the men and women of all ages and walks of life who are going through treatment or who have returned to a new life, free from their former dependence on alcohol.'
