"The jury may listen outwardly respectfully to the old buffer, but in the jury room they are going to follow their own inclinations." (Lord Devlin)
Are judges old buffers out of touch or sympathy with society and if so, how far should they allow their own attitudes to influence the jury?
Tonight Ludovic Kennedy talks to a man who has spent over half a century concerned with the law-he is one of the most distinguished judges of our time - Lord Devlin.
He talks about miscarriage of justice and the rights and wrongs of our accusatorial system.

Commentary written and narrated by Edwin Mullins
Towards the end of the 19th century Art Nouveau, a radical and revolutionary concept in art and design, swept through Europe and flourished until the outbreak of the First World War. Highly decorative, decadent even, the ' New Style ' was to have a liberating effect on the whole of 20thcentury art and architecture.
Foremost amongst Art Nouveau painters was Gustav Klimt. Born in 1862 in Vienna, he was one of the founders of the Viennese Secession, the Austrian manifestation of Art Nouveau. His dreamily erotic female portraits, forboding allegories and sad, sensuous landscapes reflect the atmosphere of the period, Austria's ' belle epoque ', more strikingly than any other artist of the time.

Starting next weekend, BBC2 will feature 32 hours of opera programmes including eight complete operas. They span 200 years, from Mozart to Britten, with productions from seven different countries and a host of international operatic stars. From the well-known tunes of Carmen to the sombre spectacle of Khovanshchina tonight's programme shows there's something for everyone - grand tunes, ensembles and solos; drama, comedy and spectacle.

Continues the season of major British films of the 60s. Tonight starring
Tom Courtenay , Michael Redgrave Colin Smith is sent to Ruxton Towers, a stately-home turned into a Borstal institution. The one thing Colin does well is run, and so the Governor trains him to win the long-distance cross-country race in the forthcoming sports match with a neighbouring public school. But Colin is a rebel with only contempt for society, and on sports day he has his revenge.
