Programmes for Women
Should women have their own programmes on television? Or does that just relegate them to a minority status despite making up the majority of the audience? Lisa Appignanesi reports on women's broadcasting in Britain - interviewing
Mavis Nicholson and Esther Rantzen , and visiting
Radio 4's Woman's Hour. And in Chicago, Oprah Winfrey talks about her daytime show for women.
In the studio, three television executives discuss the questions raised.
Director AGNIESZKA PIOTROWSKA Producer CHARLES MILLER

The Return of the Osprey
Diving at 50 miles per hour, the osprey can catch two fish at the same time, each a quarter of its own weight. Its spectacular aerobatics make it one of the most remarkable birds in the world.
But 20 years ago the species began to disappear in New
York State. This film reveals how human interference nearly drove the osprey to extinction, and how a handful of dedicated bird lovers are achieving extraordinary success in enabling its recovery.
