The Long Childhood
'It is not the business of science to inherit the earth, but to inherit the moral imagination, because man and beliefs and science - without that - will perish together.'
Man would not be man if he were not sometimes fearful - for his confidence, for the future.

Broken Images
I can see my face quite happily, I can see my lips moving as I speak to you.... obviously I can see my own glasses and my eyes behind them ... but if you were to ask me who it is, 1 still wouldn't know.'
John cannot recognise himself in a mirror, or his wife. He is lost a few yards from his own home. Yet he is not blind: he just can't make sense of what he sees. And ironically his misfortune tells us a great deal about normal perception.
John's condition is rare, but not quite unique. Larry, from Florida, is similar. When they meet in London will they be able to share their handicap? Narrator Alexander John Film editor ROBERT BROWN Written and produced by HILARY LAWSON
