China's Child
Imagine a city the size of Liverpool where nobody has had a second child for three years; where nobody gets pregnant without official permission; where a second baby has no legal identity and can lose you your job, and where neighbours and workmates are officially encouraged to report any unauthorised pregnancy.
Changzhou, an industrial town near Shanghai, is such a place. It's one of the most successful examples of China's policy, announced in 1980, that ' because of the coming over-population crisis, each couple will henceforth only be allowed a single child '.
How do the Chinese enforce such a severe policy? How do they present it to the people as acceptable, even desirable? And what happens when, despite pressures, a woman becomes pregnant for the second time?
This film traces the personal and detailed events in Changzhou during two weeks last March, following the factory birth control workers, the ' Granny Police' and the local families, as they struggle to apply - or in some cases, to get round - the ' one child policy'. Narrated by PAUL VAUGHAN

ALDOUS HUXLEY wrote: That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.
Frank Delaney talks to three historians who give very different lessons. They are Raymond Wil liams, political and cultural analyst and novelist, whose ideas have influenced two generations since the publication of Culture and Society 1780-1950; Christopher Andrew , modern historian and expert on British Intelligence and French Imperialism; and John Keegan , whose highly acclaimed The Face of Battle altered the traditional approach to military history.
