The new city of Milton Keynes , in Buckinghamshire, has meant not only new homes but in one case an experimental way of planning the school curriculum. Stantonbury Campus serves one part of the city, and the film looks at the way concepts of ' flexibility ' and ' shared time ' for pupils, have provided them with a wide range of subject choices under a new ' faculty ' structure.

This week's theme:
The Nude and the Naked Boucher (1703-70)
Girl on a Couch: at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne FRANCOIS BOUCHER personified the taste of the French aristocracy before the Revolution. He was First Painter to King Louis XV and favourite artist of the king's official mistress, Madame de Pompadour. He held a near mono-poly for decorating royal residences.
This painting is an example of just how well Boucher could paint when it was not the jaded palates of kings he tried to please, but himself. Written and narrated by EDWIN MULLINS

The last in a series of five films 5: Playing for Real
As the world becomes more complex, so games, mirroring almost every aspect of our lives proliferate. In New York, one games collector now lives surrounded by 30,000 different board games.
This film travels the border-line between the world of the game and the real world around it - role-playing fantasy games, business games, computer games, war games. We watch a British sports manufacturer revamp the company image around the aggressive dynamism of John McEnroe , analyse the Cuban missile crisis as a poker hand which America won, and Watergate, as the poker hand which Nixon lost.
We see the way games are used to develop frightening new levels of artificial intelligence, look at the connection between computerised video games and the spiralling technology of modern warfare. When the game world ends and the real world begins, will we finally destroy ourselves by destroying the two?
