Sixth of eight programmes Pop 'n' Politics
Protest music is again fashionable in the wake of records and gigs for CND, the GLC and striking miners. But how do artists and consumers reconcile radical causes with the ethics of the music industry? And isn't all music political anyway?
Red Herrings this week talks to Billy Bragg, Jimmy Somerville and Aswad's Brinsley Forde backstage at the GLC's 'Jobs for a Change' festival. It also explores the political role of the current indie scene with the Red Guitars, while avant-garde band Test Department show that you don't need lyrics and conventional instruments to make political music ...

Last of eight programmes on the mammals of Britain presented by Tony Soper
There are no wild wolves in Britain today, and to see a wildcat you need to go to Scotland and be lucky.
And yet the descendants of these animals live in close association with us, as our pets. What was it that made the ancestors of our cats and dogs such suitable material for domestication?
Film editor HUGH TASMAN Producer BRYN BROOKS

Face to Face
British justice has long regarded punishment as the sole preserve of the courts: crimes against society get punished by society in the dispassionate shape of judges or magistrates. Peter Taylor this week examines radical developments in sentencing which could give the victims a say in the fate of their offenders. Magistrates and criminals, probation officers and victims consider whether vengeance and forgiveness should weigh the scales of justice.

A series of films about the way we live now
The Fishing Party
They are four friends, rich young men - city commodity-brokers, the drinks trade. They belong to the right clubs. They hunt, shoot, play polo, make money.
They had the idea of going fishing in Scotland for a few days in the autumn, to see if they could break the world record for a catch of skate. They ended up with something else.
As the October weather squalls and shines, as the boat rolls on the stormy waters of the Pentland Firth, as the days pass without the big bite, so the jokes flow, the bottles are cracked, and Robert, John, Henry and Guy reveal their spirited, outspoken opinions.
'Better for some to have privilege rather than nobody - let's lead from the top, not the bottom ... Many of our friends, in the City and the army, worry about the aggressive young men of the loony left....'
It's a controversial view of the state of the nation today. Narrator Ian Holm
