This week's theme: Story-telling
Daumier (1807-1879) Ecce Homo at the Folkwang Museum, Essen
Although Honore Daumier was one of the great French caricaturists of the 19th century, his great ambition was to be taken seriously as a painter. He considered Ecce Homo, sometimes called We Want Barabbas, to be one of his most important works. It is a master-piece of narrative painting. Written and narrated by JOHN JACOB

Spend,Spend,Spend:
The Alternative to Unemployment? Our old manufacturing industries have declined and new high-technology industries have yet to take their place. The Government believes that new jobs can only come after streamlining in industry. But some economists and opposition politicians claim there is another way. They believe Government should intervene, and spend to create jobs. Steve Bradshaw examines the claim that we could spend our way out of unemployment.
