A special edition on a change in local government finance little short of revolutionary - the Community Charge, or poll tax. Amid confusion and opposition in Scotland many thousands of people have yet to pay. So what is in store for England and Wales? The programme talks to crofters, council tenants, students, pensioners and local government officers. It discovers what the poll tax is, who pays and who is exempt, how rebates work and what the penalties are for those who defy the charge.
Presented by Hugh Scully and Helen Madden. Producer Brian Hill Editor Chris Lent (R.)
