as Sergeant Bilko The Court Martial
After speeding up their induction procedures, the officers at Fort Baxter find they have swom-in a distinctly odd soldier - one
Private Speakup. They suspect Bilko is up to more monkey business and order a court-martial.

by DAVID LAN A film for
Global Report What happens when a revolutionary government introduces a new legal system?
On 25 June 1975 Mozambique, led by the Frelimo party, achieved independence from Portugal. Ten years later
Teresa Calliano is a judge on a People's Tribunal. She was elected by her neighbours in the Canico - the reed city which surrounds Maputo. Her court hears civil cases: child custody, seduction, divorce. When Teresa's position as a judge starts to affect her own marriage how can her problem be resolved? The film is based on cases heard by People's Tribunals during 1984. It is performed by real judges and by people from the Canico - in which the events took place.

Saffron Walden , Essex
'In the hands of an expert you can see how good these patterns can really look,' says Alec Clifton-Taylor disarmingly in front of a wall where he's been trying his hand at pargeting. This is a decorative craft achieved by pressing patterned moulds into wet plaster. It's the Saffron Walden speciality, seen on many of the town's timber-framed houses and particularly on the Sun Inn. In this friendly little town on the border of East Anglia, brick, tile and timber-frame predominate. Apart from the flint of the church, stone only makes its appearance at the nearby mansion of Audley
End, completed in 1621. 'For the grandee who built this prestigious house, it just had to be limestone and nothing else. A colossal piece of extravagance.'
Today Saffron Walden is a town with too many pollarded trees and too much traffic, most of which, says Clifton-Taylor, should be 'firmly re-routed.'
