Six Sides of a Square: 3: The Leisure Myth

on BBC Two England

One square in Islington - 70 houses, about 400 lives...
Three people on their way to work - Terry, the lorry driver; John, the architect; Agnes, the bus conductress. Do they enjoy work? What would they do with more free time? Two strangely similar reactions, but from Agnes a startling answer.

"Director Lawrence Gordon Clark and producer Ian Martin have rung the bell at people's homes. As well as giving an insight into social problems, the series imparts that pleasantly half-guilty feeling of finding out what goes on behind others' curtains." (Birmingham Post)
"Brilliant series about a London square during the social upheaval created by the middle-class chase for habitable houses in what were once working-class areas of London." (Daily Mail)
