Ian Breach and Ann Hunter present the first of four monthly reports by the programme that looks at community action and self-help. Who'll Look After the Kids?
An increasing number of working parents have little choice about the type of care they can get for their children. With a huge unmet demand for day-care for the under-fives and at least half-a-million children left alone after school every day, many parents are desperately looking for solutions.
Grapevine reports on some campaigns to improve the provision for working parents and visits two community nurseries in Hackney, London, and an after-school project in Cambridge.

Gavin Millar visits the banks of the Seine where Renoir staged his unashamedly French-flavoured version of Gorki's classic. With extracts from some other socially concerned films of Renoir's 'popular front' period.

Tonight's film: Les Bas-Fonds
(The Lower Depths)
Starring Louis Jouvet, Jean Gabin, Suzy Prim
Renoir brings his own special warmth and understanding to Gorki's intensely Russian world of poverty, despair and grandeur. In the words of critic Andre Bazin, the film 'embodies the director's most delightful and revealing qualities.'
The Baron, ruined by gambling and women, returns home one evening to discover an uninvited guest - Pepel, a burglar. Explaining his penniless condition, the Baron insists on entertaining the intruder. He learns of Pepel's life in a sordid disreputable lodging house - 'the lower depths' that he, too, is destined to enter.
with Maurice Baquet, Rene Genin, Gabriello and Janie Holt
