The Choir. In 1969, Mervyn Lewers was a choir boy at
Londonderry Cathedral. Like all the other members of the choir, he was a Protestant in a city where the majority is
Catholic. When he grew older he joined the RUC and served for ten years. One night, after he'd left the force, he went for a drink with a friend. His car exploded and he lost his right leg. In tonight's programme Peter Taylor traces the fortunes of six boys in the choir of 1969. All of them have been touched and profoundly changed by 20 years of troubles.

Eight films in which
David Jessel reports on the cases of people whose lives have been shattered by injustice. On Doctor's Orders
The newspapers are full of stories about children being taken from their families when child abuse is suspected. But many families have experienced the frightening powers of the child protection machinery, only to be found innocent of wrongdoing at the end of a shattering ordeal. The evidence that triggered the investigation might only have been hearsay, a telephone call or a doctor's mistaken opinion. For those families, the policy of better safe than sorry in the care of children means being treated as guilty until proven innocent. Producer Kevin Sutcliffe
Series producer Steve Haywood
