The first of nine Open Door programmes
Tonight the Irish in Britain Representation Group, Manchester
' If you see an Irishman on your TV screen, the chances are he'll be shown as either an idiot or a drunk and what's more we're all supposed to be murderers and bombers. That's all eight million people of Irish extraction living in Britain today. The Irish are Britain's oldest and largest ethnic minority. Are we really part of British society or are we a race apart? '

Harold Williamson revisits The Pop Preacher
Paul Jobson could always make them sit up and take notice. The young curate turned his church crypt into a disco and talked sex in a language teenagers could understand. It was the Swinging 60s and he was certain he could get them back to the church. He failed, but he hit the headlines
-then left for a quiet post in the country.
Now he's back in another south London parish as rector. This time he's after the whole family-with a four-ale bar in the crypt. The takings keep a roof on his church, and his ideas get royal approval with a visit by The Queen Mother. But does draught bitter win worshippers or just darts throwers and domino players?
