The Accusers
Daisy Cooper is the sole witness to a murder but no-one will believe her because the man she accuses - Alan Winter - is a prominent citizen. Even Slim is sceptical, mainly because Winter is the boss of his stage line! Daisy's desire to tell the truth soon places her life in jeopardy.

The War of Words
Down Under
BUGA UP is the provocative name of an organisation in Australia that is devoted to defacing adverts, organising street happenings and infuriating the tobacco companies. They're not anti-smoker, just anti-cigarette sponsorship and ads. If 'we oppose drug pushing,' they argue that 'we should oppose cigarette promotion' too. Australia is producing a movement of angry men and women, led by doctors, prepared to break the law.
Their fight is winning much support. Their aim is to ban all cigarette promotion.
Tonight Q.E.D. describes the maverick campaign.
Series editor DAVID FILKIN Producer STEPHEN ROSE

A play to amuse you, about the rehearsal and recording of a radio play. The director believes "radio is very akin to film, except radio is more visual". The play within a play is about a Peeping Tom.
