In the Shadow of the Test
John is 30 and lives with his girlfriend in London. But while on holiday in Thailand he had sex with other women. Now he has decided to do something most of us would be afraid to do. He's going for an HIV test.
From John and others who have taken the test we learn about the fear that surrounds testing and how to deal with it. We hear of problems with life insurance that can follow the test. And, efforts to make doctors more sympathetic. Film editor MICHEL CLERFEUlLLE Producer CHRIS LENT (e)

Third of eight films exploring the way women's lives have changed in the 20th century. Thinking of England
'I'd never seen a man in the nude. I'd got seven brothers and I didn't know they'd even got ankles.'
In the days when chaste respectability was every girl's goal, a veil of silence cloaked all sexual matters. Girls were told that being alone with a man was dangerous but not why. Few were told the facts of life.
Sixty years on, innocence is no longer seen as a virtue.
From the days of chaperones through the swinging 60s to the post AIDS era, frank reminiscences interwoven with contemporary documentary and feature films chart the course of the changing moral climate and the influences behind it. Producer NIKKI CHEETHAM Series producer

Last in the re-runs of Clive James's Saturday fantasia. This week, excerpts from
America's mother-daughter pageant, in which the sweetest of sweet sentiments are exchanged, and the make-up cracks with emotion.
G. Gordon Liddy , Watergate villain and latter-day gung-ho hero, talks with Clive by satellite about his extraordinary way of life and death. Simon Hoggart , talks by satellite from Washington about latter-day gung-ho hero President George Bush , while in the studio is the true voice of sanity, internationalist Peter Ustinov.
Clive James has introduced a pace and penetration that is almost unknown on television.

An intimate view from dawn till night of one person's day. Ellie Laine
The comedienne is no longer the teller of refined stories. The genteel touch has been replaced by the fully frontal on both ears and eyes. Breasts and the pride of men are now the butt producing the comic's daily corn.
Ellie Laine successfully exploits both. Glamorous, armed with a wit that brings tears to the eyes of men and a smile to the taxman, every late night is the cash rich end of just One Day ...
