with Jonathan Miller

Dobcross
Henry Livings, the young English playwright, left London to live in Dobcross, a small workaday village near Oldham. His friends there work in the local mills and dyeworks and it is out of this background of northern industrialism that he has written plays like Big Soft Nellie and Eh?

Leicester Tower
James Stirling and James Gowan, two British architects, built the new Department of Engineering at Leicester University. They discuss with Professor Parkes, Head of the Department, and John Donat how the building and Leicester's first tower came into being.

Western Native Township
Julian Beinart, a South African expert in town planning, shows the startling decorations on the walls of the houses in the township and talks about what this 'writing on the wall' means to the Africans who live there.
