An Open Door programme made by the All London Teachers Against Racism and Fascism.
' Racism doesn't stop at the school gate,' claim ALTARF. ' Children as young as ten have been involved with extreme right-wing racist groups, pupils are racially abused by their peers and even by their teachers. Many schools perpetuate the racism that children experience on the street and in the job queue.
' Schools have a choice. They can ignore the issue of racism, and thus connive in it, or can commit themselves to struggling against it. It's a challenge but in our film we show that parents, teachers and, above all, pupils are able to fight racism in schools.' ,
A public access programme made with the help of the COMMUNITY programme UNIT

In the last of six programmes Harold Williamson revisits The Reluctant Father
Professor Huntingford was a rebel in medical circles. He believed that women should make their own decision about childbirth and abortion. But all the time he denied his own wife that freedom of choice. She longed for a child of her own but he refused to give her a baby.

An eight-part serial written by Philip Mackie.
80 BC. For all his eccentricity, Fluter sees clearly that Rome is the true source of all power, and he sets off on an extended royal visit, dispensing large sums of money to bribe both Caesar and the Senate to back him. The Egyptians, furious at this subservience, depose him in his absence and make his wife, Cleopatra Tryphaena, and his daughter, Berenike, joint monarchs. But the illegitimate Fluter has enough Ptolemy blood not to let go easily.
