Some people call them dwarves. They call themselves 'persons of restricted growth'. There are more than 10,000 of them in Britain. And for all of them, being small is no laughing matter. Mike Ballan is just 37 inches tall - the smallest man in Britain. His twin brother Malcolm is nearly twice his height. Frances Gaywood is an adopted child. Her natural parents couldn't cope with the fact that she, unlike them, was a dwarf. Tom Shakespeare is the son and heir of Sir
William Shakespeare. Tom's at Cambridge - a political activist, hair dyed, self-confident, and something of a trial to his tall tidy mother. In childhood
Gladys Nicholson was hung from bars and painfully stretched - to no avail. But soon she's to marry Bernard Brooks - a shy watch-repairer, who for years couldn't bear to look in a mirror, or even a shop window. He kept thinking to himself that he was tall.

Astaire Ginger Rogers
GEORGE GERSHWIN , who died 50 years ago today, supplied only one score out of the nine RKO Astaire-Rogers musicals, but it proved to be a great one. The songs include the title number, 'They all laughed', 'They can't take that away from me' and 'Let's call the whole thing off. Fred plays a world-renowned ballet dancer, while Ginger is a famous venue artist. At first there's antipathy, but romance and songs win through....
