Two programmes on the impact of television on its audience.

When Gordon Newman's four-part police drama Law and Order was broadcast last year, some critics saluted it as a particularly truthful account of the realities of police work, but senior police officers denounced it on the grounds that its distortions would mislead the public. The truth is rarely plain or simple. But how far are people's views of the real world determined or influenced by TV drama? In this programme we present the results of a specially commissioned research study on the impact of Law and Order on a chosen group of viewers. With comments from Richard Hoggart, Sir Robert Mark, Alasdair Milne, Alan Plater and Shaun Sutton
