Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Mount batten of Burma, killed in an IRA bomb explosion in 1979, denied any attempt by biographers to record his extraordinary life.

LORD mountbatten was very concerned that the truth should not be suppressed. The first programme reveals the man in How I Got My Way

A series of personal views from the Third World.
Third World -Free Press?
Kushwant Singh examines and questions the role of a free press in the Third World.
Should it actively support the State or can it be free to criticise it? How is the Third World reported by western journalists? Is it fairly covered or is the west really interested only in stories of disasters and corruption?
KUSHWANT SINGH is the Editor of the Hindustan Times, the most influential newspaper in Delhi. He is also a Member of Parliament, novelist, journalist and lawyer-yet he describes himself in the programme merely as a ' writer of sorts '.
