Two partisan views of a controversial issue
Boxing is unacceptably dangerous and should be banned
This contentious issue is the subject of two films, one made under the editorial control of the British Medical Association and the other under the editorial control of Jim Watt , former Lightweight Champion of the World. BMA - 'Many sports are dangerous, but boxing is unique; it's the only one in which the main object is to brain-damage your opponent.
The idea that schoolboys should be involved in this defies belief.'
Jim Watt - 'There's always been a place in our society for man-to-man combat and there's still a place now.
What better way to channel energy than through the highly-regulated sport of boxing?'

What's your doctor like? Sympathetic, kind, intelligent - or arrogant, condescending and incompetent? In a unique project stretching into the next century, "Horizon" sets out to follow a group of teenagers who will become the surgeons, cardiologists, general practitioners, obstetricians... of the future.

With unparalleled access to the usually closed doors of the interview room, the questioning, the discussion and the selection of the candidates was filmed. Then last September, the 100 lucky survivors were followed during their first week at
St Mary's Hospital Medical School in Paddington, the hospital where Fleming discovered penicillin. They were chosen from over 2,000 applicants.

Over the next five years, more than £100,000 will be spent turning each of them into a doctor. In the first of many reports we see how the people to whom we entrust our health are chosen and initiated on the long path to becoming a doctor.
