Before the next episode, there’s the end of a movie, Crime of Innocence.

Then there’s the result of an adjudication from the Broadcasting Complaints Commission.

Then, a special edition of Film 91, look at this year’s Oscars. The big winner was Kevin Costner (second day running) and Dances with Wolves. It’s a bit weird hearing the filmmakers talk about the film, and keep saying ‘Indians’ instead of Native Americans.
