Five programmes on the history of mass education in England and Wales. 3: Barriers
Inside the Collegiate School in Liverpool in the 1850s and 60s there were physical barriers to keep the different social classes apart. The history of secondary education, as the story of this famous school soon shows, has long been affected by snobberies and social divisions.

Robert Wilson is one of the most revered and controversial talents in contemporary theatre. He first came to prominence in the New York avant garde of the 60s and 70s with a series of huge stage works which astonished and often infuriated audiences, but never failed to impress with their invention and sheer visual power. After seeing Wilson's first major work,
Deafman Glance, the leading New York drama critic Clive Barnes declared that he had created 'a new non-verbal, post Wagnerian epic theatre.' Tonight, in the first of two Arena programmes, Wilson talks candidly about his formal upbringing in the American mid-west; his job as a teacher of brain-damaged children in Brooklyn - an experience that changed his life - and about the inspiration behind his extraordinary theatre pieces. Including rare footage from Robert Wilson 's personal archive and contributions from collaborators Philip Glass

Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is probably
Alec Clifton-Taylor 's favourite small town. It exemplifies precisely his concept of a pattern of building - stone church, bridges and castle; wood medieval houses, often carved, as at the Feathers Hotel; plaster ceilings, and brick for the Georgian houses. But there are some Victorian shockers, and the Market Hall, apostrophised by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as 'Ludlow's bad luck'. Film editor KEITH RAVEN

by HAROLD PINTER starring Alan Bates as Nicolas
'You probably think I'm part of a predictable.... long-established pattern; i.e. I chat away, friendly, insouciant.... while another waits in the wings.... coiled like a puma.
No, no. It's not quite like that. I run the place. God speaks through me.'
Pinter's latest play is a chilling study of the psychology of torture.

Using the tone control of your record-player may sometimes reduce the noise of surface scratches, but how far does it degrade the fidelity of the music?
