Grapevine reports on some. ways in which people can voice their concern and get things done. Tonight's programme looks at a Patients' Committee based at a Health Centre in Aberdare, South Wales, a Community Health Council in Birmingham and a Hospital Action Campaign in the London Borough of Brent.

By reconstructing the blind musicians wandering life, the director has also painted a portrait of Japan from 1913 to the present day. Counterpointing the widespread poverty and rampant Japanese militarism are the vibrant, rounded tones of traditional shamisen music, much of it played by Chikuzan himself.
