Bridging the Childcare Gap - a Price Worth Paying?
Almost two thirds of firms in Britain are reporting serious skill shortages. Employers' plans are thwarted by a growing obstacle - the cost and availability of childcare. Almost 80 per cent of women who want to return to work say problems in finding someone to look after the children prevent them resuming their careers. Ministers have urged employers to set up workplace nurseries and asked education authorities to keep schools open late. The Government's critics say there should be a comprehensive childcare policy with tax concessions for parents. Public Eye examines the growing demands to make this a top priority for the 1990s.

Oblomov
Oblomov is a slob. Even
Gorbachev is said to have denounced him from the podium: 'We must stamp out the Oblomovs from our society.' The lazy aristocrat of Goncharov's 19th-century masterpiece has become a Russian folk-hero. After 100 years asleep, Oblomov is re-awoken in modem-day Russia - this time as a lazy party bureaucrat. Perestroika, quite frankly, bores him. He was more at home in Brezhnev's 'Period of Stagnation'. Oblomov's foul-tempered chauffeur,
Zachar, narrates this bizarre tragi-comedy: for the story of Oblomov's vain attempts to raise himself from his bed is the story of Russia. Filmed on location in the Soviet Union.
