This flimsy attempt at storyline only occasionally interrupts what is otherwise straightforward tour footage of the magnificent four belting out some of their classics - and what a bonus, some of their earlier more obscure material! The whole affair had a home video feel to it and devoted disproportionate attention to Agnettia's bugs To pep it up there were a few groovy dream sequences and another unexpected bonus involving a two-part appearance by Neighbours superstar Lou Carpenter.

Albie Sachs is an exiled South African Lawyer and prominent member of the ANC who, in l988, was blown up by a car bomb. Although he lost an eve and an arm, he survived. This is the story of his fight towards both mental, and physical, recovery. The four actors use a minimum of props and a mixture of dance-like mime routines and dialogue to present Albie S AL , constricted world as he battles to come to terms with his loss. The set opens with an upturned bed fitted with an engine so that It mimics an upside down car and casts surreal shadows on the back of the stage. Later, turned the other way up, this becomes Albie's hospital bed. From here he charts his progress from managing to use the hospital comode, (1 shit, therefore I am' he says with grim irony), to relearning to tie a shoelace The invalid's struggle to maintain appearances is wittily, but also movingly, characterised by two different actors playing Albie daytime and Albie night-time. Albie daytime is confident, optimistic and rational, Albie night-time, who wears the dirty and torn clothes of the day of the bomb, is angry, vengeful and Dave self-pitying. It is only when Albie can reconcile the two sides of himself, ackowledge and come to terms with what has happened to him that he can regain his sense of identity and purpose.

During his night out with West Yorkshire Police Patrick Jenkins got the chance to speak with his female chaperon about life on the beat.

C Yvonne Matthews represents the police force both in the exception and the rule: a female officer who many consider to be doing a man's job, but who pwhen push comes to shove has to face up to the sarne aspects of ihe job, dealing with everything form community: policing, to bar room brawls. Married to another policeman. Matthews believes that law enforcement is a career for life and despite the danger that come with the job there is, for her and her colleagues, what an outsider might easily view as a 'sadistic' pleasure in their work. "As far as I'm concerned, just because I'm a female officer, doesn't mean I get treated any differently from the blokes Obviously no one enjoys being sent to sort As crime and violence reach an ell time high in Leeds arriving home from work, there was a out a couple of pissed blokes in a pub fight - and believe me there are some rough flood of 999 calls reporting burglaries. pubs in Leeds. 6, students are demanding to know what the police However, within a couple of hours the Similarly.

"I believe in a police force but not a police state - and I think we're heading that way in this country at the moment. They interfere in a lot of popular culture issues where they shouldn't. For example where I live near Tower Hamlets there is a lot of racial tension and the police are not upholding the rights of the people. They are stamping their authority where it is not wanted and creating more problems."
