Comedian, mimic, raconteur are three descriptions that can be applied at any one time to sum up the multi-faceted career of Michael Bentine. To the public he is best known for his zany humour but few people, apart from his family and friends, know him to be a spirit medium.
In tonight's programme MICHAEL BENTINE talks to host Donny MacLeod about the paranormal and a book, The Door Marked Summer, he has written on the subject.

Should a council employee working just a few hours a week be faced with the decision of having to join a union or lose her job? And why does an MP speak out against the closed shop when he runs a company where jobs are reserved for union members only?
Brass Tacks looks at these questions in a week when the European Court is expected to judge whether the closed shop in this country violates human rights.
BBC Manchester
