Robert Robinson looks at the events, politics, sport, and entertainment of the first half of 1951. Tonight's programme deals with February of that year when the 'Z-Men' were first called up, the Shah of Persia married Queen Soraya, and six dockers' leaders were arrested for inciting illegal strikes. And there is film of some of the big names in pop music of the time: the five Smith Brothers, Mantovani, and... Petula Clark.

Fifteen years ago, Mary Taylor's and Sarah's families were close friends-until Mr. Danby was promoted over Mr. Taylor's head and the Taylors built a fence between their gardens (which back on to each other), thus providing a symbol of the rift in their friendship. Both men have since died, but the rift has remained. Now both Sarah's and Mrs. Taylor's houses are to be demolished to make way for a new road... and while Sarah is to receive £3,000 in compensation, all Mrs. Taylor is offered is £300! The rift becomes an active feud.

This week: That Monday Morning Feeling: 1: The Assembly Line
Mass production in the motor age means a car-or two-for every home. But it also means men geared to the demands of machines and payment by result.
For some of us work can be fascinating, even exciting, but when your job is reduced to a simple routine that can be mastered in minutes (and often completed in seconds) earning wages is a deadly but necessary monotony.
What do you do to pass the time when your job is reduced to a mindless operation? How do you keep at it for forty years? Veterans and newcomers to a car components production line in the Midlands give their answers in this, the first of three programmes to look at the relationships between people and their work.
What matters in the news and out of it with Kenneth Allsop and Michael Barratt,
Robert McKenzie, Vincent Kane
