Wren Karen Greig's admission that she was gay during an investigation into her rape by a serviceman resulted in her being interrogated for three days and then dismissed. Max Darnell's gay relationship with another sailor resulted in his having a criminal record although he had not broken any civilian law.
Every week at least one man or woman is thrown out of the British armed forces because they are homosexual. This examination of the effects of this institutionalised homophobia gives some of them the opportunity to tell their stories.
One air vice marshal was encouraged to take early retirement when he was inadvertently involved in a police swoop on some public toilets. His protests that he was not a homosexual were ignored by the RAF. As his wife says: "I think he would have got more support if he'd robbed a bank."

World Championship from the Crucible, Sheffield.

Last in the documentary series. The She-Chief. Dr Zungu is a Zulu Chief - she is also a woman as well as a qualified medical doctor. Her appointment to the exclusively male institution of Zulu Chieftaincy was an astonishing break with tradition and came about after the death of her husband and only son. Chief Zungu, a 30-year-old mother of two, is now having to deal with the spiralling political violence in her 70,000 strong
Chiefdom. She also faces tough opposition from Zulu elders who would like to see her fail.
