Petula Clark in conversation with Dr Anthony Clare
'I would have loved to have been a perfect wife and mother, to be able to cook and make jam and things, create a marvellous atmosphere of comfort and coziness for my family. And I have tried. I do try. I feel a little guilty about my career because I think, if I had given all my energies to it, I would have done a lot better. So I'm caught between the two.'

Music in My Pocket
A portrait of Raymond Francombe , jobbing gardener and composer.
Ray is a familiar figure around the centre of Bristol. What will not be known by most of those who pass him every day is that for years he has been composing sacred music - and, until this Programme was made, he had never actually heard a note of it performed.
In this film Derek Jones gets to know Ray, and attempts to have his music professionally assessed.

The 1985 Ryder Cup
On Sunday 15 September
1985, SAM TORRANCE holed a 20-foot putt on the 18th green at the Belfry to clinch victory for TONY JACKLIN 'S European team over the mighty
Americans, led by LEE TREVINO. The team's achievement won not only the Ryder Cup, but also BBC Television's Team of the Year award.
The BBC team which covered this momentous golfing day has itself been honoured with the Golden Ring of Lausanne. This programme gives viewers a chance to relive the day the Ryder Cup came home.

A Voyage Round the Monarchy Andrew Miller , a history student at Stirling
University, has been watching the ceaseless pageant of royal television appearances and press headlines for as long as he can remember - but he's begun to wonder if there's something seriously wrong at the heart of it.
In tonight's Open Space, he argues that however the royal family are served up, it's always with the assumption that Britain needs a monarchy.
But there are voices who say we don't. So if royal coverge was like ordinary coverage, what would the balancing opinions be?

Lambs to the Slaughter?
'The effects of the cloud have already been assessed, and none presents a risk to health in the United Kingdom'.
(Government statement,
6 May 1986)
Seven months after those reassuring words, it is clear that the risks from Chernobyl fallout are greater and much more persistent than we were told. Scientists working for the Government have discovered an enormous error in their computer predictions. They now admit they have no idea what will happen next. Hundreds of thousands of sheep are still grazing the hills of Snowdonia, Scotland and the Lake District because the Ministry of Agriculture has found them too radioactive to eat. Sales of local lamb have fallen by two-thirds. No one knows when the ban on slaughter will be lifted.
Gerry Northam examines where the experts went wrong, and what the long-term economic and political fallout will be from the world's worst nuclear accident.

The way we live now.
Each year, Whitehall recruits about 100 of the country's brightest graduates. It is a process which has never been filmed before. The prize is a coveted one.

This film tells the remarkable inside story of two candidates who are put through perhaps the most demanding half-hour of their lives - the final selection board.
Louise Alliott, hoping to enter the Foreign Office, has scored highly up to now for her personality. But will her shaky knowledge of foreign affairs be her undoing?

When they hear the final result one of them simply cannot believe it.
