The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public. Tonight:
No Home-No Hope
Edinburgh - the picture of prosperity and genteel respectability. But, when they should be filled with hope and plans for the future, growing numbers of young people are finding that at best life offers them an endless list of lonely rooms to be shared with strangers, and at worst streets-where they are being coerced into prostitution and petty crime or taking refuge in drink and drugs.
Young people talk about their experiences, and the EDINBURGH COUNCIL FOR SINGLE HOMELESS suggests what needs to be done to stop today's youngsters becoming tomorrow's long-term social problems.

Lupino Lane , the man who made ' The Lambeth Walk ' famous, was a comic who once rivalled Chaplin and Keaton. With the advent of the talkies, his small studio folded and all the negatives of over 40 films were destroyed. After years of painstaking research film historian Philip Jenkinson has managed to track down and restore 14 of the original films. Tonight's programme picks out some of the best moments from the lost legacy of Lupino Lane.
