There is strict security in one section of Champion Mills - for the good reason that the Champions are experimenting with a new device which they intend to keep to themselves. Quite unexpectedly, Stephen receives a call from an old friend, Saeed Khan. Now it is quite possible that Saeed Khan is not all he says he is and Joe is by nature suspicious. Stephen is reluctant to distrust his friend while Liz has to form her own opinion; but Saeed Khan has a way with him - especially where women are concerned.
Incidentally, he provides a splendid role for Zia Mohyeddin.

1768: Boom Town
1868: Ghost Town
1968: New Town
A documentary by Philip Donnellan.

This film takes us into the problems and frustrations of beginning a new town-and into the lives of the population, new and old.
The Hirsts and their two children move from an estate in Birmingham to Dawley, Shropshire. They are in at the start of a new scene in the tangled drama of Dawley. In 1709 a Quaker named Darby discovered how to smelt iron with coke: the Revolution that started in Shropshire swamped the world. But when the iron and coal there were exhausted the people moved on into Birmingham and the Black Country. Now the Planners are inviting them to go back.
But will they want to go? And how will the Planners cope with this new Revolution?

The Chairman and Board of Tintoc Ltd. decide that the only solution is to make money illegitimately. Ostensibly a property development company, Tintoc Ltd. has become in fact a cover for highly organised crime.

For twenty-five years Pamela La Fane, crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, has lived in a geriatric hospital. For the 3,000 young chronic sick like her there are few alternatives. For years she has dreamed of being able to live a more independent life, free from the routine and discipline of hospital. During the last year she has paid three visits to Mary Marlborough Lodge, a Rehabilitation Centre at Oxford, where she hopes she may be helped to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of getting 'a flat of her own.'
