A series of six films on the growth of the new nationalism in Europe. 2: The Corsicans
As the shop window for decentralisation in Socialist France, Corsica presents a chaotic picture. The dark and secretive forces of clanism and violence impinge on legitimate politics. Most wish to remain both French and Corsican, but the promise of Home Rule has been welcomed with characteristic extremism. Paris has responded by installing its top policeman with the rank of Prefect. Devised and presented by George Reid

Brave New Babies?
Supposing you could design your child to look, feel and behave exactly as you wanted. Would you be delighted or appalled?
Today genetic engineering is in its infancy. But already experiments involving gene mapping, cloning and embryo manipulation are routine. How much of this knowledge will be applied to the human embryo by the end of the century?
Jonathan Glover , a moral philosopher from New College, Oxford, introduces some of the new developments, and argues that we should sort out our attitudes to human genetic engineering now-before biology catches up with science fiction.
... a fascinating, frightening programme
