FEBRUARY 1978 29 THIS WEEK IN VIEW by W. Stephen Gilbert I 30FF SCREEN THE OBSERVER SUNDAY- PLUSr -5 Force of 'Destiny' THE story of the week, on television and in the country, was undoubtedly the promotion of the racial question by Margaret lhat- cher. Her appearance on This Week on Monday was followed by David Edgar's play the BBC 'Play for on Tuesday. MELVYN BRAGG What Mrs Thatcher actu ally meant by what she said, less ambassador, rushing about-: ph'otogenically to speak, crusade, meet --with her staff of 17, but still Vies folks as she herds the kids to church. Fascinating finale of Mr and Mrs President weeping with Mr and Mrs Shah as tear-gas disperses Iranian rioters.

(S. 9.25-10.55 THE GROUND-STAR CONSPIRACY (BBC1, film, 1972) Consistently intriguing thriller, starring Peppard as a taciturn security man investigating a sabotage plot at a secret US Government research establishment. A chilling little movie with certain (largely unrealised) ambitions, flashily directed by Lampnt Jonn-son, 10.45-11.15 CHINA ENTERTAINS (BBC2) A Scandinavian film of the Tientsin troupe which perpetuates traditional Chinese acrobatics. Some of its material, like that of some British comics, is 2,000 years old. 10.55-11.35 TONIGHT (BBC1): Jeremy Paxman talks to the former Chief Strategy" Analyst for the CIA in Vietnam, Frank Seppi who claims the bungled its Vietnamese strategy.

.11.15 11.40 ARTS (BBC2) Late on 2 all week is coverage of the Embassy World Professional Darts Championships in 1 7.30-8.10 NE.WSDAY (BBC2) First of four China Week editions. Jim Biddulph reports on the Chinese in Hong Kong. On Tuesday, Richard Kershaw chairs a discussion on the Chinese economy; Wednesday's report is by Brian Barron in the Sudan on Chinese overseas aid; ex-US representative in Peking George Bush joins Edward Keath and Michael Charlton to discuss Chinese foreign policy on Thursday. 8.10-9.0 PANORAMA: Without These Walls (BBC1): In a film produced by Jonathan Holmes, reporter David Taylor takes up where Tom Mangold's prison series last year left off and considers the alternatives. With around 50 per cent of prisoners proving recidivists within a year, the alternatives could hardly be less effectual.

But an examination of the Government's experimental schemes the day training centres, set up five years ago, the community service orders and the probation hostels suggests only gloom. A Yorkshire crown court judge is seen visiting the Sheffield day training centre and giving his assessment. Barbara Wootton and Tory front- andwny she said it, is meat for other columns. Edgar's play. seems to me' to pose a critical' question about contemporary drama.

At its simplest the ques tion is How much licence can you take Destiny concerns a bv-election in the A 1953 Angus McBean photograph of artist Marevna and her daughter Marika, who feature in Omnibus on Mrs Rosalynn Carter in Americans (BBC2). bencher Teddy Taylor also weigh in. 8.30-9.0 WORLD IN ACTION Cold Facts (ITV): The Electricity Board disconnected 28,500 homes in the September quarter and the cost of electricity has risen 141 per cent in three years. Tony Benn is interviewed on the failure of the attempt to set up a safety-net for those who can't afford to pay. 9.0-9.50 AMERICANS The First Lady (BBC2) Ladies and gentlemen, our very lovely First Lady of the United States, Mrs Rosalynn Carter The Steel Magnolia has let the BBC into her life before all comers; it's not their fault if that life's entire philosophy might be, as in Bambi If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at She is 50, her husband's tire West Midlands in 1977, when tiveness if you turn the bad dies in the play as hapi pened with some of the characters in Edgar's play into the rather predictable types we would imagine them to be without the invention of an author.

Edgar can clearly reply that there is a sound tradition of political theatre and political novels, and indeed lie has ably defended himself against charges of writing for stereotypes and twisting the facts to suit his previous conviction. However, the doubt remains. If drama is going to take on not only the manner and the matter of documentary material, but also the function and purpose of the best and the most polemical documentaries, then it will deserve to stand or fall by the same criteria as documentary. It will be forced to answer questions such tis Could it really happen like that Is what he is saying plausible These questions are asked of every play, but with a play like Destiny and with a subject like race and with more plays of this character and ambition coming up, then the questions will be asked more fiercely, the plays will stand or fall to a great extent by the conviction with which they answer them. This is an exciting time.

The political and lively fringe theatre of the last five or, 10., years is now coming into vision at a boom time for tele-' a candidate from, or rather lor, the Nation Forward Party' (the National Fnont; very lightly disauisedl stirs up racial feelings inside a community, which includes a large, number of immigrants. In my bpnnoh the 1 play is a very powerful 'piece" which, perhaps, gained much of its by the stolid introduction that precedes him. 7.204.0 STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (BB1, film, 1951): Alfred Hitchcock's superb thriller about a two-way murder scheme (I'll kill your wife, you kill my father) that starts as a jokey conversation and swiftly turns into a nightmare. The movie that signalled the Master's emergence from his post-war doldrums. 8.0-9.0 BERNARD MANNING IN LAS VEGAS totally hermetic piece, the peeling of.

an onion that doesn't make the eyes water. Wendy Hjllerf a reclusive so sunnily that her reclusiveness is a mystery. 'We're trying to form a household, Plunket and she says, including the butler (Lang). We're looking for people who are not particularly happy in what they're doing Trevor plays on the ambiguities raised by that premise and many viewers will be held by the impact from the timing of its appearance on tne television screen. It had great strength For example, Edgar postulates a political eventuality which to many observers (most notably Peter Jenkins in the Guardian) is borrowed far too much from the Germany of the 1930s and too little from the Britain of the 1970s, he sees a link between his Fascist party and British big businessmen, as there was indeed a link up between Hitler and the Ruhr You may say that Edgar is at liberty to speculate in any way he wishes, and that the tradition of political speculation in fiction is a long and honourable one.

However, that tradition has generally been concerned with speculation about a mid-distant or future. The final portion of Edgar's play was, after all, set in 1977, a year we all know about, a place in history we have all passed through. How far is he allowed to take liberties with it if he is expecting us to believe that the characters and the situation he presents are to be taken as not so much authentic' aS convincing This is not to deny the play its power, its ambition or its undisguised and, in my opinion, admirable moral fervour. But it is to ask: How far can you twist known facts to gain an effect, even when you are calling it drama Of course in some way it makes 'fdr greater effectiveness if you do show a link up between the extreme right and big business; just as it makes for greater effec and spelt out the positions of the various parties oh an issue it seems, is forcing its way from local into national politics. Baz Taylor filmed shifts.1 But it's only about Manning's bold trip to Vegas itself.

My worry, though, con where he played the MGM 9.10-10.0 PLAY OF THE cerns the nlav's relationshiD with real events, with the 5.10-5.35 GRANGE HILL by Phil Redmond (BBCl) Beginning a niriep'art' series set in a London comprehensive. Part One is somewhat hamstrung with exposition and soap opera noises but the ground is also laid out' to fulfil good and proper intentions. Redmond is wise enough to begin with types the tyke, the lonely one, the disorganised one, the genial teacher and the vindictive one. Provided he doesn't leave them there, there's every hope that good character writing and issue-airing will follow on. The elements are blended skilfully by director Colin Cant.

6.10-7.0 TEN YEARS OF PULSARS (BBC2) An Open University programme, specifically aimed at a wider audience, this is an exposition by their discoverer of pulsating stars. In 1974, Professor Antony Hewish won a Nobel Prize for his team's work in 1968. Now he brings us up to -date-with the relevant developments in astrophysics. He's a good talker," neither obscurantist nor patronising; don't be daunted news and with the political world as political commentators see it. Edgar, like a lot WEEK The O'Hooligan File by Janey Preger (BBC2) Preger's latest play, too, is a rather exclusive process.

En-joyably enthusiastic, Allan Surtees plays a 1960s anti-hero grown old and still more difficult.

Excellent fun, however, and Pedr James directs it to a nicety, getting remarkable work from the kids. 9.30-10.35 THE CHINESE WAY (BBC2): First of two reports this week by Julian Pettifer. He and producer Anthony de Lotbiniere filmed 'what the Chinese chose to show us of their rural The society's virtues are plain enough toil, self-reliance, self-effacement, study.

The upper age limit is 19, the qualification a distinction at Grade VIII, the prize money totals 3,000 and the finalists will perform a concerto of their choice with the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra. 9.25 PLAY FOR TODAY Our Day Out by Willy Russell (BBCl): Quick repeat, courtesy of the banned for Russell's popular play shown on 2 in Christmas week. Four teachers take a 'progress' class on a coach trip from Liverpool to Conway.

The education debate is dramatised in the differing attitudes of the 'two most prominent teachers (played splendidly mocking way to junk and ersatz culture ('he's got joy 1.30-2.0 CROWN COURT Michael by Julie Welch (ITV) A three-parter (continuing Wednesday, Thursday) by our own Ms Welch. The eponymous baby was found dead by his father (Alun Lewis) and now the mother (Jennie Stoller) stands accused of murdering him while suffering severe post-natal depression. 6.55 7.25 YOUNG MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR (BBC1): From some 3,000 applicants, executive producer Walter Todds lias creamed off 500 to compete for this new title in four on tne Drain' objects his prunefaced sister), he rides quite understandably, taken them over for his own dramatic purposes. Television is at its best when it looks live, when it looks real, when it seems to be a window on the Dramatists have vision play production. tJ, seems determined to illuminate the dark gaps between the bland sentences of our party political lives.

This is not-a plea for it to soften its blows! or re-align its sights. Just to say that if it insists on dealing with the current political situation head-on then it must be seen to deal with it fairly, otherwise people will simffl3f not believe what is being sajjb even if it is being said for -the best motives in the" world. out to defeat the capitalist conspiracy mat fte invites to conspire aeainst him.

All are distinguished by their extreme enthusiasm not to say eccentricity diggers of Stone Age flakes in Hamp-stead Heath; a couple who measure pre-1730 bits of houses round Hastings; an aerial archaeologist the preserver of a Roman bath house; the Waltham Abbey Historical Society; and the surveyors of Offa's Dyke. Winner not to be revealed beforehand. (SB) 9.0-10.0 ITV PLAYHOUSE Last Wishes by William Trevor On its own terms, Trevor's latest exercise is very successful and played very cleverly, particularly by a steely Robert Lang and a cadaverous John Welsh. But I found it resistible, all well-turned lines and theatrical device, a 10.0-11.0 TIBET ROOF RADIO by Paul Ferris OF THE WORLD (BBC2) That unique documentarist elix Greene travelled the length and breadth of Tibet to get tootage of how the Disgusting practices people, only two million of them in a vast area, live.

thereby producing what he calls the most exciting and heart-warming film I have ever Included is for film-makers Jonathan Lewis and Elizabeth Taylor-Mead to get their important and acclaimed compilation-film of 1930s British news-reels and their dishonest coverage of the events in Germany on to the BBC in an uncut condition, since at the end Jonathan Dimbleby draws parallels with present-day TV coverage of Northern Ireland and the BBC's distorting notion of balance. Ironically (and for 'balance'?) the BBC has grafted on a studio discussion including Dimbleby, Dick Francis, Bryan Magee and Lord Ritchie-Calder.

In the Midland region only, Pebble Mill then mounts" a discussion (10.20-10.50) chaired by Michael Dean about the values reflected in 'Gangsters' (or 'Gagsters! as producer Michael Hancock suggests it might be called). Among those taking part are writer Martin, director Alas-tair Reid, producer David Rose, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, the editor of the Birmingham Evening Mail and a member of the Commission for Racial Equality. 11.25-1.0 a.m.

The thoroughly outrageous, voluptuous chanteuse recalls their exotic past with great heaving spillage of emotion while Marevna's quiet wit pokes out from her decrepit, daft exterior to reveal a great lady.

(S.) Potter (see In the Air '). trac-irig his teleplays over the last tor tne first of a two-programme report on politi WANTING to improve the populace doesn't go down well these days. It leads to elitism and other disgusting cultural practices. But BBC radio, which matured in another world, still has traces of the old habits. Thus Barry Fantoni in his Times article recently, where he went on about how awful Radio 3's music is, aimed a passing kick at the venerable Reithian idea of educating the underprivileged to like better things.

He thinks Radio 3 has a condescending air. Has he never heard Tom Crow, get his early-morning time-checks in a twist? Compared with most presenters of music, Radio 3 announcers marvel of, normality, -behaving like" average people. Lef hope Fantoni didn't hear Man of Action, the elitist music-programme that particularly upsets him, a week yesterday. That sporting clergyman, the Rev. i Nicholas Stacey, following the usual formula of potted life-story plus favourite records, told us about the 'wonderful nanny of his childhood whose great loves were us hildren and the orchestral concerts on the Stacey went further, if that's possible.

He said sniffily that while it was an advantage these days to say you were born in a council house and your mother took in washing, things were different for the little Staceys. What a shameless fellow. Underpriviliged citizens wanting to better themselves, or not as the case may be, cursed and swore their way through a shaky play by Jeremy Seabrook and Michael. O'Neill, Living Private (Radio 4). The private means a private house as distinct from a council flat.

Seabrook and O'Neill have written two previous plays, about life in the buildings, highly praised for their don't-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry 'Birds in a Gilded' Cage' (1974) I remember especially for its many cruel details. Here, they failed to resolve their sympathies. Muddled caricature seemed to have taken over from casting a cold eye. Was the play meant to expose the posturings of Mum (Eva Stuart), who a s' her 'taxi-driver husband and wretched teen age children into a house with a mortgage and snobbish neighbours that cost Dad fifteen farsand? Or was it designed to show that those who live in council flats are a hopeless race of puddings, muttering 'We must stay where we belong like an in-' carnation?
