The Running of the Deer
Exmoor is home to one of the last remaining herds of hunted stags and hinds.
Opposition to deer hunting here has mounted in recent years - at no time more than last autumn, when a stag was chased onto a house roof near Porlock and the resulting photograph shown in newspapers all over the world. Last week, Ian Breach heard the case for stag hunting. Tonight, the hunt's opponents have their say.
They believe the days of the Devon and Somerset Stag
Hounds should be numbered. Director GARY JOHNSTON

Dear Radio Times,
Hooray for Alexei Sayle ! The funniest TV show since The Good Life! What a tonic his new series Stuff is. I haven't laughed so much since Margo fell flat on her face in the compost heap. One tiny request though, could you get rid of that fat b*****d in the tight suit and put in more scenes with Felicity Kendal wrinkling her nose up? Many, many thanks,

An Open Space special
For many of this country's six million disabled people, 1988 takes a notorious position in the history of their struggle for equality, rights and recognition. This year's controversial Social Security changes raised the temperature of disability politics, long simmering as a potential embarrassment for any government.
This uncompromising documentary, filmed in England and Sweden, is made by two disabled people, Patricia Rock and Colin Low. Together they critically assess the conditions of life experienced by significant numbers of our disabled population, who day by day face intolerance, ignorance and discrimination in all aspects of their lives.

Midwifery is perhaps the most fulfilling variety of nursing. It's also one of the oldest professions in Europe and one that women have made their own. But many midwives feel that their status is now being undermined by doctors. Sound DIANA RUSTON
