A Forty Minutes documentary series in seven parts, filmed at Harefield Hospital. 1: Waiting for a Heart
John Haines is in a critical condition. Unless a donor heart becomes available, he will die. When the call comes from Harefield, the Haineses hurry to the hospital. But before their arrival, the heart is withdrawn.
John Haines is one of a long waiting list of (mostly) men, whose lives are ebbing away for want of a heart. But after eight barren weeks, the chance of life is offered to a patient with 'b positive' blood.
Mr Magdi Yacoub prepares two patients from his B+ waiting list: Bruce Anderson (51) and Vaju Manek (50) - both men desperately ill. As they are bathed and shaved, tests are made to decide whose body-tissue better matches the heart, which has been taken from a young road-accident victim. With all the data at his command, Mr Yacoub has only a short time to decide who will get a new lease of life, and who will have to eke out his 'living death'.

' Go to the villages: that is India, therein lies the soul of India '
(MAHATMA GANDHI)
In the week of the opening of the Festival of India, Prafulla Mohanti , author and writer, presents a unique portrait of an Indian village.
Born the youngest son of a peasant family in Nanpur, 200 miles south of Calcutta, he is now based in London but each year returns to his village where life is measured by the sun, where peace and simplicity co-exist with poverty and suffering.
This profile offers a rare insight into the lives of its people; the astrologer, the barber, the priest and the widow are among those who talk of their hopes, fears and beliefs and describe a way of life which has developed over the centuries and which Mohanti believes still has meaning today.
