Pillars of Society

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The last of six programmes.
Britain's ills are often attributed to an inability to adapt to change. But is change possible if the country's leading institutions remain set in their ways?
A critical look at six pillars of society, outwardly powerful, but facing the insecurity of being misunderstood by a sceptical public. Scotland Yard
Ever since Sir Robert Peel established the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police near a certain courtyard in Whitehall, the name Scotland Yard has been a symbol and a legend. In the last few years, however, it has tried very hard to turn itself from a heavy-handed bureaucracy into the spearhead of a modern police force.
Peter Kellner tries to separate the myth from the reality. Producer HARRY SCHNEIDER
Executive producer ANNE SLOMAN (Re-broadcast tomorrow at 11.0 am LW)
