A Will to Win

on BBC Two England

Harold Williamson presents another film about people determined to achieve a personal goal.
Maureen Hiron was forced to give up teaching because of an accident. So the former games mistress became a games inventor. She and her husband Alan hit the jackpot with their first brainchild and happily ploughed their profits back into launching two more board games. With E35million a year at stake - and that's only in this country - competition in the games business is fierce. The Hirons were to find out the hard way that you need more than enthusiasm and a good idea to survive.
'Actually inventing the games is the easy part.' Film editor GRAHAM DEAN Producer TERENCE O'REILLY
