An Open Door programme made by Imperial College Students' Union Union President Nick Morton :
' In 1979 the Government introduced the idea of ' full cost' fees for students from other countries who want to study in Britain. Now the overseas students are staying away in droves and it's beginning to have serious effects, firstly on our higher education system, but just as importantly on Britain's relationships with the rest of the world.'

When the England Test team toured India suffering long, drawn-out cricket, another tour took place that didn't grab as many headlines. But it was a much more .eventful affair-a party of teenagers from Sussex were making their own tour of India.
Not skinheads or football hooligans on the rampage but school-boy cricketers who became unofficial ambassadors in a land which seemed to grow more and more foreign every day. The Hurstpierpoint XI went by aircraft, bus, boat and coracle from nbrth to south India and back again; fought experts in the martial arts; made a jungle safari where 200 tigers were reported; feasted on strange native dishes and coped with stomach upsets and a gruelling schedule.
Harold Williamson joined them and the film captures a colourful teenage look at parts of India no foreign invader ever reached.

One of the Family
In the last 100 years some 2,000 of our stately homes have disappeared together with the armies of servants that once maintained them. But the world of Upstairs, Downstairs still lingers on in some of our remaining great houses where it can take a silver steward 18 months to clean all the 1,000 silver pieces and a gamekeeper works all year to provide a few days' shooting. Jeanne la Chard looks at life behind the green baize door and talks to men and women who are proud to be servants, as well as some dukes and duchesses who employ them.

begins a season of films by one of the most original and influential talents in cinema history.
Starring Orson Welles, with Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Dorothy Comingore, Everett Sloane

After more than 40 years Orson Welles' first feature film, made at the age of 25, is still regarded by many as the finest film ever made. As director, Welles breaks every rule; as actor he is stunning in the role of the newspaper magnate who becomes rich and famous, then finds his career threatened by scandal.
"Here is a man who could have been President, who was as loved and hated and as talked about as any man in our time, but when he comes to die, he's got something on his mind called Rosebud. Now what does that mean?"
