A memoir of Billy Cotton
Today would have been Billy Cotton's seventieth birthday and tonight Cliff Michelmore talks to some people who knew him when he was a boy and others who have worked, played, soldiered, flown, and raced with him over seventy years.

Tom Sloan, BBC-tv's Head of Light Entertainment, has said of Billy Cotton... 'I never knew a man who realised so much that life was for living. Into his career he packed enough to satisfy ten men... After the first war he started his own band-and worked his way to the top the hard way.
'He had a go at bus conducting, played football for Wimbledon and Brentford. He did a bit of boxing... he had his own plane... he became one of the great personalities of Brooklands... he was indeed top of the bill in everything he did.'

A series of programmes in which members of British universities discuss important issues of our time with national and international figures.
In this programme Robin Day introduces Lord Beeching to members of the student body and teaching staff in the Students Union Building, University of Southampton

Is the existing machinery of government in Britain adequate to deal with the problems of a complex modern state? How can we best combine efficiency in man. aging our affairs with democratic control? And have we got democratic control anyway? Recently the Conservative Shadow Home Secretary said that Parliament had become 'virtually an elective dictatorship'; and public regard for politicians of all parties seems very low.
Lord Beeching, who is discussing these questions tonight, feels strongly that the only way to save democracy is to reform government so that our affairs can be run more efficiently. As Dr. Beeching, of course, he became a national figure when he was seconded from industry to halt the vast financial losses of the railways.
