This Week 
The following is a very brief guide to the more interesting things happening this week. Full details appear in the magazine in the relevant section. 

Radio & TV 
Novelist B S Johnson talks about the C18th writer Dr Samuel Johnson in 'On Reflection' (Fri). Samuel Johnson once said 'The wonder is not that it was done well or badly, but that it was done at all'. It may become the motto of the decade, but Johnson originally said it of a dancing dog. 'The World About Us' (Sun) is consistently worth watching. This week there's a reconstruction of Iceland as it might have been about 1000 years ago when first inhabited by the Vikings. Do listen to Radio Free London on Sat night/Sunday morning when two OZ girls present the records from 10.30-11:30 in the first in a new series 'Cunt Power'. Listen throughout the night on 186 metres. Viv Stanshall has 'Radio Flashes' for two hours on Saturday afternoon. 

Children 
Fun For Kids takes place at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon from MonFri all day with very cheap admission charges. 
Music 

Lectures 
'London's Forests' on Saturday will have a lot to prove. Thursday's 'Psychodrama Demonstration' promises some action in contrast to the usual dull formality of most lectures. 

Exhibitions 
If the weather holds, its the time of the year for mixed outdoor exhibitions. SPACE artists are inside and outside at Marble Hill House; out-door shows too at Syon House and on Hampstead Heath. The Serpentine Gallery's show demonstrates once again the lack of innovation and imagination in the non-famous and struggling ranks. 

Theatre 
Ian McKellen's 'Hamlet' (by Shakespeare) opens for a short season at the Cambridge theatre with a big reput-ation to live up to from its provincial tour. John (OZ trial and many others) Mortimer's autobiographical 'Voyage round my father' finally makes the West End at the Haymarket following its premiere at Greenwich last year. The RSC at the Aldwych continue to supply the best subsidised West End theatre with David Jones' production of Gorky's !Enemies' and Peter Brook's 'Dream'. On the Fringe, dare to see Chris 
(Studio One) is the well-made exciting documentary about the deadly killer white sharks. Local cinemas: a chance to catch Truffau t's `L'Enfant Sauvage' again (E. Finchley) and Hitchcock's 'The Lady Vanishes' could be a refreshing visit at Hampstead. Indian films, from the inside' of the country, show at the Kensington Commonwealth Theatre on Wed and Thur. Late night films: see Hitchock's 'Mamie' (Dalston on Fri) and 'The Birds' (Edmonton on Sit) o the excellent programme at Kentish Town with 'Last Year At Marienbad' and the Lenica cartoon 'Labyrinth' on ThurSat. Eisenstein's 'Ivan The Terrible' (Part 1 and 2) is late night at the Paris Pullman on Sunday. Clubs: the Science Fiction night at the Electric (Fri and Sat) includes Jack Arnold's 'Space Children' and 'Robinson Crusoe on Mare. 

Club, Boz Scaggs is a must at implosion on SundayBel and Arc also on the bill are well worth seeing oo. King Crimson do the Marquee on Mon and Tucs, but only members can buy advance tickets. Rev Gary Davis is at the Shaw Theatre on Sun with probably his last appearance in England. On Saturday try the free festival at Harmony Farm, Sussex or the folk/jazz/children's riverside party at St Katherine's Dock on Friday and Saturday, with kids under 11 admitted free, might make an ideal family outing. (!) Ronnie Scott's programmes are mixing generations this weekJack Bruce and Larry Coryell have two more days (Friday and Saturday) before Ellington trumpet player Clark Terry arrives on Monday. The remarkable and adventurous guitar playing of Derek Bailey is available at the Albion on Friday and Brother-hood of Breath play the Phoenix the following Wednesday. Prom of the week is probably Thursday's, featuring Tim Souster's electronic music group Intermodulation and the London Sinfonietta in a programme that includes a premiere of Roger Smalley's piece 'Beat Music'. 
Wilkinson's chilling 'I was Hitler's Maid' at the King's head; and if you recover from that, try his 'Plays for Rubber Go-Go-Girls' at the Hampstead Theatre Club presented by Portable Theatre. Three under-rated writers receive London premieres at lunchtime: John McGrath and Charles Wood at the Kings Head, Stanley Evehng at Toto's.
