The sixth of eight documentary programmes written and presented by Michael Charlton , which examine what have been called the ' missed opportunities ' of Britain's European diplomacy. A Last Step Sideways
While the Six progressed rapidly to the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, Britain made a last attempt to outflank the EEC with Plan G, the industrial free trade area, to bridge the gap between the Community and the rest of Western Europe. Both the United States and the Six were opposed to this and the plan failed. Contributors include GEORGE BALL , RUSSELL
