Britain 2000
Presented by Brian Widlake
Valerie Singleton and Nick Clarke The first of three special programmes examining our long-term industrial future.
Tonight: 1984 and All That.
Microelectronics, robotics, fibre optics, biotechnology, these are some of the ' sunrise ' industries on which our prosperity depends. Other countries are hard at work planning to make the most of them-why aren't we? In Britain we have been slow off the mark to enter these challenging new areas. Can we still catch up, and rebuild our industrial base?
