MEETING POINT
An Egg in Your Face
One of my earliest recollections was standing in the street outside my home and a woman asking me if I was the son of the Rev. William John Calvin. I said I was. The woman put her hand in her shopping bag and brought out an egg. She smashed it in my face
I always had as a boy this sense of not belonging, of being in a minority group on every matter and issue
But it left me with this almost neurotic sense of having to surround with care people who are under oppression, under attack, or unable to stick up for themselves An Egg in Your Face traces the life of The Rev. Noel Calvin the Congregational Minister of Trowbridge, Wiltshire and urges through his eyes the expanding need for tolerance and understanding in religion, politics, and all human attitudes
Produced and directed by HUGH PITT from the South and West

0.35: THE FIRST LADY
starring
THORA HIRD
ROBERT KEEGAN
JAMES GROUT and HENRY KNOWLES in A Little Goodwill by N.J. CRISP

This is the situation of John Lambert , at seventy-three Furness's oldest taxi proprietor. He can'pass on his taxi licence-these come under the Furness Watch Committee and there is a long waiting list for them. Is this unfair? Sarah investigates what seems a straightforward grievance and uncovers a dubious racket in the process.

I didn't find any overtly racist content all week on the Beeb to be fair, although the only black performers seem to have been Sunday cricketers and Sammy Davis Jr.

Monday night BBC2 has four Pythons:

On ITV in July:

a) this dodgy title, but not actually racist content:

b) Custer, clearly a racist person in history, probably whitewashed for TV (series was cancelled by the end of 1967 due to Native American protests but ITV was still showing it in July 68):
