at the National Film Theatre
British film-makers are currently enjoying new esteem. David Putt nam, producer of the award-winning Chariots of Fire, and Bill Forsyth , who recently made his name with the low-budget Gregory's Girl, are two of the people responsible for the improving image of British films. Recently they combined their talents to make Local Hero, but, as they tell Quentin Falk in tonight's Guardian Lecture, the British film industry needs more positive financial backing if it is to produce further triumphs.

For King and Country?
In February 1933 the Oxford
Union, the University's student debating society, passed the celebrated motion 'that this house would in no circumstances fight for its King and Country'. The vote caused a storm of protest including a demand from some older members of the university that a second debate be organised to expunge the offending motion from the Union Minute Book. And subseauently certain politicians, including Winston Churchill, have argued that the debate convinced the dictators Hitler and Mussolini that Britain had no stomach for a war against them.
But is there any evidence to support such claims; and what did the young men who dreamed up and debated the motion really think it meant? Some of them now recall the events at Oxford exactly 50 years ago.

Tell it to the Marines
Dramatised by TERRY TAPP Narrated by Jack Watson
' A night to remember'. That's what the corporal insists it's going to be. And that's just what it turns out to be for Martin, who does his best, though his heart's not in it. But the last straw comes when the corporal picks up a lonely widow and then gives her Martin's name instead of his own!
