The agony and ecstasy
Article Abstract:
The Antigone Project is a project of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Education Department which won the Sainsbury's Award for Arts Education in 1991. Sixth-formers reinterpreted Sophocles and workshops are creating new plays for the Antigone Festival in Stratford in November 1992. The Cornwall group were resigned to problems such as the future of the world and the environment, and not interested in demonstrating their opinions to authority. In Birmingham, a contrasting suburban, modern area, the teenagers appeared more interested in irrelevant questions such as immigration and found the play too extreme.

All they want is a second chance
Article Abstract:
There is no certainty about which television series will get follow-up series. Good scripts and actors do not necessarily result in high ratings. Some second series are made of programmes with low ratings. Second series help recoup money invested. ITV does not decide on second series until it has the ratings, but the BBC decides according to other factors and takes risks. Sometimes a second series is made to give the programme a chance to find its viewers.
