A film about children who want to perform and the parents who encourage them.
At the London audition for the screen musical Annie, 2,000 little girls turned up. One was 11-year-old Marsha Anne Bland, Whose dream is 'to share the stage with Frank Sinatra.'
The 5-year-old Haley Twins are in a new spy film. They call actIng 'pretend.' But 15-year-old Dexter Fletcher is an old hand - Baby Face in Bugsy Malone, Puck at Glyndebourne.
The Seaview Singers are named after their parents' boarding-house in Margate. They made a record called 'Ginger Tom' and perform it in unusual places...
The rewards are glamour, fame, perhaps even Hollywood. Will all their dreams come true? Or are they just High Hopes?

An Open Door programme made by The Spitalfields Housing and Planning Rights Service. Spitalfields, in London's East End, has some of the worst housing in Britain. A quarter of households are scandalously overcrowded with many families inhabiting a single room in conditions shockingly similar to those in Victorian times and the 30s. The Spitalfields Housing and Planning Rights Service asks why these conditions have been allowed to persist and shows how Government cuts and the spread of offices have savaged old-established working-class communities. Local authority policies have led local people themselves to confront the housing crisis.
A public access programme made with the help of the Community Programming Unit.

'It wasn't the impact that killed - it was what happened afterwards.'
(Air-crash survivor)

Most people would call it a crash; airlines and their cabin-staff talk of 'the unlikely event'. And indeed for 20 years the aviation industry has concentrated on preventing plane crashes altogether - with great success. The statistics show that you would probably crash only once in nearly 1,000 years of daily flights.

But when crashes do happen, have the chances of passenger survival improved? Using unique film, Jack Pizzey examines the regulations and the standards, talks to the people who make them, test them, criticise them, and to three scientists who have survived 'the unlikely event'.

"An eye-opening programme, at once calming and alarming." (Daily Mail)
