Sexual harassment, beatings, broken contracts, and even death threats - these are some of the allegations of ill-treatment being made by domestic servants working in Britain for wealthy visitors. Driven to work abroad to escape poverty in the Third

Senior producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT Producer MARTIN WEITZ
Open Space is the series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control helped by the Community Programme Unit.

The Pioneers of Modern Surgery in five parts Doers Not Thinkers
By the early 1970s, surgeons were riding the crest of a wave. But controversy and uncertainty surrounded one of the commonest operations in the surgeons' repertoire: radical mastectomy - the standard treatment for breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the major cause of death in women over 40. Yet from the 1920s onwards, evidence piled up which suggested that radical mastectomy did not cure the disease and that smaller, less disfiguring operations would work just as well. But for decades, surgeons seemed determined to ignore it....
