Enjoying Books. Outsiders
It really hurts to be an outsider. That's why novelists write about them so often - and why the resulting books can grip even reluctant readers. This programme features three books about young people who feel they have to struggle with life; some in a humorous way, some in fear, some adventurously. Presenter NIGEL HINTON with KATHLEEN HEATH

While City stockbrokers have been trying to buy up any kind of accommodation in London's Docklands, 46 families have spent the last two years building their own homes. For Tom Taylor , redundant dockworker, it is the achievement of a lifetime's ambition and 'the most exciting thing I've ever done'. But two years of hard work in every hour of free time has taken its toll. Film editor STEVE RONAY Producer MARGARET BUTT (Regional programme - for variations see below)

Robert Mapplethorpe
This month the National
Portrait Gallery opens its doors to the controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. As the epitome of New York style he is less celebrated for his portraits than for the notorious photographs that chronicled the chic gay world of Manhattan. His studies of nude black men are a shameless affirmation of gay sexuality while at the same time recalling the great male icons of classical painting and sculpture. As one of the most successful photographers of modern times, his work has been instrumental in the restoration of the male nude to a primary place in mainstream art.
In this exclusive film profile of the man and the people whose fast-track existence he chronicled, Arena talks to the formidable first lady of body-building Lisa Lyons , his friend and singer Patti Smith , novelists Kathy Acker and Edmund White , and others who inhabit his world.
