HANS SCHAROUN first emerged as an exponent of architectural expressionism after the First World War. Like many German architects of his generation he made the rapid change to the international style in the 20s and 30s, but still retained sculptural and ' expressionistic ' elements which characterised his work.

For three weeks every year the city becomes a centre for performance by both young and established artists from all areas of the arts and entertainment worlds.
In this programme you can hear an extract from the concert being given by the chamber music trio of Peter Frankl, György Pauk and Ralph Kirschbaum; see John Clegg (from it Ain't Half Hot Mum) as Rudyard Kipling; visit the rehearsal of Walton's Façade with Eleanor Bron and the Nash Ensemtble; and hear a new work by the young British composer, Colin Matthews, performed by the London Sinfonietta Voices
These artists and many more will give a flavour of the excitement and talent to be found in towns and cities all over Britain during the summer months.

In Britain's overcrowded prisons, solitary confinement is being used increasingly as a way of dealing with dangerous, subversive or potentiallY troublesome prisoners. It's a development that is concerning legal and medical experts. According to one leading forensic psychiatrist, lengthy isolation in a prison cell 'fits into a definition of torture'.'. Douglas Wakefield is serving a double life sentence for murder for and manslaughter. He has so far spent a total of five.and-a-half years in solitary, now his case is being taken to the European Court of Human Rights Using a 250-page diary smuggled out of Albany Prison, this film report reconstructs Wakefield's experiences in isolation. 'I catch a moth or a spider and try to encourage it to make its home with me so I can enjoy its company.'
Brass Tacks cameras also go inside the unit that holds one of Britain's most dangerous prisoners in solitary.
