Where the public sets the agenda Singing Songs of Whales and Things
For nine months the Snowdown Colliery Male Voice Choir put themselves through gruelling practice sessions in order to compete against the best of the Welsh choirs at the Miners' Eisteddfod at Porthcawl. With only the bare bones of the choir able to afford the trip to Wales, and getting more nervous all the time, the test piece, a spiritual about Jonah and the whale, seemed more difficult as the competition came closer.

Tonight, a little tongue-in-cheek, with anecdotes and an occasional song, he recalls some of the more interesting incidents in his long and successful career.

The fourth of eight programmes The Lost Harvest
' We have rights over this land, because when you're born you're given land by your mother. Even the village headman hasn't the right to take that land away from you. But you see how these tractors come and destroy our fields.' In The Gambia in West Africa the women who grow most of the country's rice also own the land they farm. Today they are being forced off their land - in the name of progress. MARIAMA KOITA , one of the women farmers of The Gambia, tells the story of her own lost harvest; and Sarah Hobson reports on the internationally funded development scheme that has set the women against the men.

The fourth of eight programmes looking behind the doors of Westminster and Parliament.
Narrated by Anthony Quayle The Best Club in London
A piece of red ribbon still hangs on every MP's coat hook, from which to hang their swords-a reminder that they must not take them into the Commons Chamber. Westminster is a place that numbs new arrivals, however sophisticated. Its procedures are archaic, its hours peculiar, its working conditions unusual. Yet there is no shortage of candidates seeking membership to what Charles Dickens described as the best club in London.

Executive producer JOHN GAU Producer ALAN SCALES
