This week we have an extensive schools block with some nice youth dramas. The second series of 3rd Rock From the Sun kicks off with the two part conclusion of last week’s cliffhanger, and Louis meets Eugène Terre’Blanche in Weird Weekends. Today’s main feature is a 1975 Play For Today about day to day life in a mental hospital – The Funny Farm, written by Roy Minton and directed by Alan Clarke. Wrapping things up we have a Calendar Special on the Bradford City stadium fire, followed by some FREFF action in the fifth episode of Micro Live.
