Tonight's theme: Bathing
This programme looks at a work painted in about the year 1720 which radiates a sense of leisure, luxury and sophisticated decorum.

Sebastiano Ricci (1659-1734) Bathsheba Bathing at the Dahlem Museum, Berlin
Bathsheba became the mistress of David, King of Israel, who paid dearly for his indiscretion. The picture represents a biblical warning of the perils of sin.

(Friday: The Turkish Bath' by Ingres)

Trapped
A woman dies and her husband gives up his job to look after the children. A war wound pushes another man into unemployment-then theft. An asthmatic mother with a handicapped child can't move out of a damp and fungus-ridden council house. All are getting ever-deeper into debt, scraping by on social security survival money. It could happen to almost anyone. The official system doesn't seem to help. Through the winter thousands of families, unable to meet their heating bills, get their electricity cut off. Increasing numbers of people have to live in unfit accommodation. And the more they try to improve their lives, the worse their plight becomes. They're trapped.
