For 35 years she had sailed one of the oldest and most romantic routes in the world. The Dwarka was a survivor, an imperial echo of the great network of routes established throughout the East in the days of the British Raj.

The stereotype image of the car dealer with sharp suit and smooth patter is fast disappearing. With record sales last year, the car trade is becoming more and more competitive.
Second-hand car dealers are working harder for smaller profits, while large garages install coffee lounges, offer interest-free loans and host weekend parties to entice customers! Trevor Hyett reports on the changing world of car sales and visits a showroom which now exclusively employs women to sell cars.
In Episode 7 of The Move, Chris Hardy, back from New Zealand, takes up his new job with the EPL plant hire company as project manager for the relocation to St Neots in Cambridgeshire.

The 200th edition
I Like the Girls Who Do
A celebration of Max Miller , comedian and star.
Presented by Gerald Scarfe with Max Bygraves
Charlie Chester , Doris Hare Jean Kent , Alec McCowen Tommy Trinder , Max Wall Bernie Winters and Max Miller
Tm ready for bed - anybody?'
Max Miller , dazzling in chintz and gaudy plus-fours, one foot on the footlights, leering and howling with delight, confronted his audience. Sexual innuendo was his game. He trod a dangerous line, just this side of respectability, across the Music Halls of the 30s and 40s.
On the stage of the Hackney
Empire, with chorus girls and full supporting acts, Gerald Scarfe re-creates
Max Miller 's rise from the back streets of Brighton to the top of the bill. The most outrageous comedian of his day, Max was banned by the BBC, in trouble over the Royal Command Performance, admired and hated by the comics of his age - and ours.

Social Problems and Social Welfare Disappearing Childhood
This programme outlines
Neil Postman 's thesis that childhood is disappearing as a result of watching television. It goes on to show that children are not passive receivers of their culture but active agents in their own socialisation, and television plays a part in this.
