What really makes you choose a product, a book, a belief, an idol, a cause?
This series looks inside the world of the persuaders and examines the methods used to influence you.

"I will not belittle myself to ask for charity in whatever form it comes."
How do you persuade a starving old lady who says that to take up her supplementary pension? Hundreds of thousands of people in our Welfare State, through ignorance, fear, or pride, do not collect the benefits they are entitled to. In such cases the authorities are clearly failing to get their message across.
Cliff Michelmore with a selected audience examines in this programme some of the obstacles that prevent people from claiming their rights and seeing what can be done about it.

A season of Britain's great laughter-makers
Starring Donald Sinden, Peggy Cummins
with Barbara Steele, Richard Wattis

This is a sophisticated marital comedy about a young couple who are heirs to a fortune but who discover that, under the terms of their Aunt Clarissa's will, they cannot receive the money while they are married. After some futile but hilarious attempts to make both ends meet by taking in paying guests - who are not the paying kind - the couple eventually decide on divorce. This arrangement is to last for only a year, and then they will re-marry. But the best-laid plans...

A further chapter in Malcolm Muggeridge's television autobiography

Twenty years ago during the administration of Harry Truman, Malcolm Muggeridge worked in the United States as the Washington correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. After two years at the centre of the Western political world he came to the conclusion that he would rather be on the periphery, and left with relief.
Last year Muggeridge returned to Washington to retread his old paths, to visit again the capital 'whose only industry is government and whose only output is words,' and to see whether his reactions remained the same combination of bemusement and foreboding.
This film records these reactions.

Ian Nairn looks at the changing face of Britain

Most drinkers are unanimous in their preference for Victorian city pubs or rural inns instead of the chrome and plate-glass of the modern pub. Ian Nairn shows that it is possible to build a good modern pub or successfully modernise an older one.
Unfortunately these good modern pubs, or ones that have been imaginatively modernised usually on the landlord's own initiative are few and far between. Most of them are in the London area, but Ian Nairn has discovered three more on the south coast: two in Portsmouth and one in Brighton which advertises itself as Britain's first family pub. But he is the first to admit that a pub is something much more than its architecture and design, and seizes the chance to attack irritants, like the trend towards larger and larger breweries selling keg and similar beers, 'tied houses' - and not least, the British licensing laws.
