with Linda Alexander
The Government's new
Education Bill threatens to break up the Inner London Education Authority by giving boroughs the right to opt out and run education themselves. Three
Conservative-controlled boroughs have already made it clear that they want to take up this option; they claim that they can do a better job. But what is the case for ILEA? What is its role. and what will be the effect on those boroughs that want to stay with the Authority? In Wandsworth a local by-election yesterday could provide a guide to how electors view the educational case for and against opting out of ILEA.

The fifth in a series of seven programmes filmed over two years inside the secretive world of Customs and Excise.
Poteen
Rural Ulster: market day in Ballymena, and the powerful voice of the Rev Ian Paisley is booming across the packed market. Unknown to people at the market, undercover officers are surveying the scene from a plain observation van. On one side. Paisley; on the other, their quarry - an old enemy selling poteen.
This very Irish story becomes tense as it reaches the night-time surveillance of the target's remote farmhouse. As the team closes in on his still, the brewer makes a run for it and, in scenes reminiscent of 30s prohibition, the drama unfolds ...

Revolutionary with a Paintbox
The Arena season opens with a profile of Diego Rivera , considered to be the most famous painter in the history of Latin America, and also the most notorious.
He was a Rabelaisian figure of far-flung proportions, who claimed to have been a confidant of Lenin, the true father of Rommel, and to have tasted human flesh on a number of occasions. He was a maverick, a compendium of contradictions and irrationalities.
A self-proclaimed revolutionary, who sought in mural paintings a new public art form to broadcast social change to the people of Mexico, he was also the man who accepted commissions from the yankee-dollar capitalists, Rockefeller and Ford.
This portrait compiles testimony from Mexico's leading novelist,
Carlos Fuentes ; ex-model and lover, Dolores Olmedo ; and Jose Luis Cuevas , one of the most successful of Mexico's contemporary painters.
There is also extraordinary archive footage of Zapata,
Trotsky and Rivera himself and, of course, the epic murals, filmed on location. Film cameraman BILL BROOMFIELD Film editor CHRIS SWAYNE Executive producers
