The Page Three Debate When Clare Short , MP, presented her 'Indecent Displays Bill' to the Commons, unsympathetic
MPs responded with smutty and insensitive jokes.
Tonight, Open Space attempts to give the issues behind the Bill a fairer hearing by inviting many of those concerned with 'Page 3' to join a formal debate from
Girton College, Cambridge. The motion debated is 'this house would ban sexually provocative pictures of women from newspapers'.
Speaking for the motion are Bel Mooney and Ken Livingstone , and against, Michael Gabbert and Linda Lusardi. Chaired by Janet Street-Porter Series producer
PETER LEE WRIGHT
Director PHILIP CHILVERS Producer SUE DAVIDSON
Open Space is the programme where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control with help from the Community Programme Unit.

Making Sex Pay
The dowdy peahen chooses the ornamental peacock as her mate. Male elephant seals use their bulk and weight to fight for a harem of females.
A hombill walls herself up for weeks and depends entirely on a devoted mate for food. Why such variety?
James Gould , a Professor of Biology at Princeton University, has an explanation for all mating habits - including our own.
Every animal is in search of a bargain from the opposite sex. Every animal is doing its best to make sex pay. Music composed by GEOFFREY BURGON Film editors

An enchanted land of windmills, water and wildlife - this was the Broads that
PETER HENRY EMERSON knew. But as the distinguished Victorian naturalist and pioneer photographer sailed these waterways in his
Norfolk wherry, he feared what the 20th century would bring.... One hundred years on, Robin Bailey follows in Emerson's wake and finds that though holidaymakers, urban pollution and modern farming have indeed taken their toll, there may still be time to save the Broads. Film editor IAN BROWN
Produced by MIKE PURTON and MARK WELLS BBC Norwich
