Seagulls on the Cable
' All the charisma of a used Kleenex says the British music press. but Liverpool band A Flock of Seagulls don't mind too much: they've still sold over a million copies of their first album and they're doing rather well in the USA. Steve Blacknell went to New York with them and took the chance to find out about cable television. Riverside presents a complete guide to New York's 27 channels, and takes a closer look at one of them, Music Television (MTV), the world's first 24-hour pop television channel. We catch some of the New Year celebrations on MTV when A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS shared the top billing with Duran Duran.

Why are there so few famous women scientists? Are there any inborn differences in ability or aptitude between men and women?

For over a century, starting with the phrenologists, male scientists have been searching for evidence to demonstrate female inferiority.

Dr Jan Harding, of the Centre for Science Education, studies the way girls and boys are steered into adopting different roles in life. In this "Horizon" she imagines a boy and a girl from a modern comprehensive transported into the past as victims of the scientists' experiments.

For the girl, the experiments become a recurring nightmare: no sooner is one kind of test found to be spurious than another even more bizarre ordeal is invented for her, and as each decade passes, she is surrounded by new voices of male prejudice. But perhaps the tables are about to be turned?
