Viewer Alison Lee (a paramedic) thinks PICKING UP THE PIECES (ITV) portrayed the ambulance service in poor light. Joanne Townsend and Dean Jay (Ambulance crew) agree. They are all concerned how the programme will affect the public's view of their profession. Comments also from Maggie Dunn (Senior National Officer, UNISON). Viewer Tom Lloyd does not want to subscribe to cable or satellite to get FILMFOUR. The original advert did not mention the cost of the complete package. He just wants FILMFOUR. If the BBC can do it for nothing why can't Channel Four? Studio discussion with Gerry Bastable (Managing Director FILMFOUR) and Tom Lloyd.

With comments from Kate Law (Cancer Research Campaign), Michael Houldey (Producer/Director HOPE FOR HELEN). Viewer William Hadcroft asks about DR WHO, which is 35 this year, will it ever come back?
