The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public. This evening: Just a Chunk of Metat presented by the Swadlincote Rifle and Pistol Club
" That's all it is - just a chunk of metal. Shooting is a sport - it's our sport. Like many thousands of men and women in this country, rifle and pistol shooting has become their first love-well almost. As a sport it isn't widely known, and in our programme we'd like to "explode" some of the myths, and open up some of the facts.'

Written and presented by Patrick Nuttgens
Patrick Nuttgens likes modern architecture. He looks at the achievements of post-war British architects and finds much to admire. Something like St Paul 's Cathedral cannot be built today; there's neither the money nor the need. What society wants is schools, hospitals, homes - buildings which respond to modern technology and modern needs. Patrick Nuttgens takes us on an odyssey from a housing estate in Leeds to an insurance company in Ipswich, a leisure centre in Swindon, a school in Edinburgh, London's National Theatre and the extraordinary headquarters of the Halifax Building Society.

"Clear, articulate statement of how the liberal, detached architect sees his role in the world." (Time Out)
"Spendidly-spirited defence of the varied manifestations of the modern movement." (Architectural Review)

' Over the years, I have again and again asked fellow believers in a free society how they managed to escape the contagion of their collectivist intellectual environment. No name has been mentioned more often as the source of enlightenment and understanding than Friedrich Hayek 's.'
(MILTON FRIEDMAN )
Tonight Bernard Levin talks to Friedrich Hayek , who won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1974. Born in Vienna at the turn of the century, he became a naturalised British citizen in 1938, and now lives in West Germany. Throughout his life he has been the scourge of those who advocate a planned ' society.
