Robert Robinson looks back on the events of October 1951 when the Conservatives won the General Election and were returned to power with a majority of eighteen.
The Rt. Hon. Selwyn Lloyd, Q.C., M.P., who was Minister of State at the Foreign Office in the new government, recalls the election, and there is an excerpt from one of the first party political broadcasts in which Leslie Mitchell interviewed Anthony Eden.
The programme also includes film about the introduction of zebra crossings and the closing ceremony of the Festival of Britain.

Furness Council have been examining the possibility of having a local radio station. George Kingston, the Council Leader, feels that it would be too expensive and cuts short further debate by axing the project. However, students of the local technical college have been training in radio techniques in anticipation of a Furness Radio Station. When the news of the Council's rejection reaches them, they determine to start some pirate broadcasts in order to emphasise the usefulness of local radio and thereby force the Council's hand. Sarah Danby is in favour of local radio and has said so on a tape meant solely for the ears of her fellow Council members. However, the students get hold of this tape, edit it, and use it in one of their illegal broadcasts. Their Radio becomes nicknamed 'Radio Sarah.' And Sarah gets all the blame!

A series of interviews with men at the top of British Industry - the men on whom our prosperity depends.
Christopher Brasher talks to Lord Robens.

When he was an errand boy in a Manchester umbrella shop Alf Robens knew that he was 'going to get on.' And so he did: a director of the Co-op at twenty-two; a Member of Parliament at thirty-five; Minister of Labour at forty. But then came the long years in Opposition which were ended for him, surprisingly, when Harold Macmillan asked him to become Chairman of the National Coal Board. If Lord Robens had not taken that job he would now probably, on his own assessment, be Prime Minister.
How does he see the state of the country at the moment? Having wrought economic miracles in the country's largest single industry, how would he cure our present economic troubles?
