Justice may be blind and its path may be strewn with law-makers and law-breakers, but David Jessel and Sue Cook are in the studio to help light its way.

First of two films
Into the Torture Chamber
WINSTON CHURCHILL dismissed television as 'a tuppenny Punch and Judy show';
HAROLD MACMILLAN thought that its studios were '20thcentury torture chambers'; but he recognised that 'we old dogs will just have to learn new tricks'.
Tonight's film documents some of the tricks, some of the early faltering steps - sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic. Learn how Eden was rehearsed word-by-word for a spontaneous interview, when MacMillan discovered the political significance of airport lounges, and why
HAROLD WILSON was told to puff a pipe on camera. These are just some of the stories, but behind them, at the time, lay the more serious realisation by politicians, and particularly prime ministers, that television was becoming something more than a mere Punch and Judy show ...

Out of Touch
Doreen Browne is a marriage guidance sex therapist in St Austell, Cornwall. 'I feel enormous sympathy for anyone who comes to see us. They often arrive very frightened and nervous, and for some it may be the first chance they've had to really be honest with each other and say how they feel.'
CHRIS AND JENNIFER POLGATE'S marriage is on the rocks: they don't make love any more, they can't talk about it and the warmth and closeness they once had has been replaced by anger, resentment and hurt. Can Doreen help them to get back in touch with each other, or is it too late?
