A musical cameo of Joseph Haydn 's visits to England. In the second of two programmes presented by the harpsichordist and conductor
Christopher Hogwood , some of the music associated with the time Haydn spent in London during the 1790s is linked by the composer's shrewd comments on the English as he found them.
His highly successful visits to the capital were masterminded by the impresario Johann Peter Salomon, whose rarely-heard transcription of the complete
'London Symphony, No 104 in D major, is among the music performed by The Salomon String Quartet Simon Standage (violin) Micaela Comberti (violin) Trevor Jones (viola)
Jennifer Ward Clarke (cello) with Lisa Beznosiuk (flute), playing on original mstruments of the period or modem copies.

George Thatcher
'The control of my life had been taken from me and I was in a wilderness....'
Sentenced to hang for a murder he insists he did not commit, George spent four weeks in the condemned cell before the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. In 1973, to protest his innocence, he wrote a play which was smuggled out of prison on scraps of paper and performed in the West End of London.
The Only Way Out is based on his experience of living next door to the gallows. Towards the end of his 18-year sentence he fell in love with a prison visitor.
Through this relationship and the discovery of a talent for writing and painting, he changed his life from one as a professional thief to one as a successful artist. And throughout his imprisonment he developed a personal philosophy based on experience of crime and punishment.
Actors James Ellis and Brian Croucher re-enact three scenes from the play. Producer FAY WOOLF

starring
William Katt Susan Dey with John Heard
Beverley D'Angelo
The casual morality of American campus life seems less inviting to Elgin Smith than the prospect of true love with one girl. When Elgin meets Caroline, another student, his dreams appear to be realised, but her involvement with an older, married man is soon to shatter his idealistic notion....
This frank look at modem attitudes towards love and sex paints a convincing portrait of a young man's first involvement.
Screenplay by JANE STANTON HITCHCOCK and DAVID FREEMAN
Based on a short story by HAROLD BRODKEY
Produced by LAWRENCE TURMAN and DAVID FOSTER
Directed by JOAN DARLING
