A weekly look behind the scenes at the world of education with Linda Alexander and Martin Young. Some of today's children will be tomorrow's
AIDS victims unless they are properly informed. The staff at Melbourn Village College near Cambridge want to help their pupils to understand the virus and make informed decisions about their own lives and relationships. But to do this, teachers themselves need to be aware of the moral, social and sexual implications of AIDS. So who's teaching the teachers?

David Jessell and Sue Cook examine the sparks -which fly when people clash with the law.
This week: dodging traffic and dual carriageways to sell newspapers to motorists is just one of the jobs done illegally by thousands of British children.
Paper rounds and Saturday jobs are usually within the law but for employers in factories and markets child labour means cheap labour. The work is often dirty and dangerous.

Tonight an undercover team investigates a VAT fraud. Their only clues are 50 fake companies which have falsely claimed as much as E250,000 from Customs and Excise.
The investigators' frustrations grow as they spend fruitless days waiting in the freezing cold for their quarry to show. Tensions boil over into arguments until they sight their man for the first time.
After a dramatic car chase they 'house' him and wait. Unaware of the many watchers staking out the centre of Coventry, the target quietly arrives in the area ... Photography PATRICK O'SHEA Film editor ALAN LYGO Assistant producer ROGER COURTIOUR

A ballet to celebrate the centenary of the painter L. S. Lowry
Music composed by CARL DAVIS
Choreography by GILLIAN LYNNE starring
Christopher Gable Moira Shearer with Northern Ballet Theatre and members of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis This new television ballet tells the story of a man who is seen by many as one of the greatest British artists of the 20th century, L. S. Lowry. It deals with his struggle for recognition and with the search for his subjects. Born in Manchester in 1887, Lowry declared his ambition was not to be a painter but was 'to put the industrial landscape on the map'.
The landscape he often chose was that around Salford. It was the City of Salford that first commissioned this evening's work. The programme is introduced by a man who has admired
Lowry's paintings for many years, Salford-born actor Albert Finney.
