This listing contains language that some may find offensive.

Gordon Wilkins and Michael Frostick drive down the fastest road to the sun.
Opening to traffic in the next few weeks is the Autostrada of the Flowers, the missing link in the first European motorway from London to Sicily-the E.1. The new road runs from Menton on the French frontier to join the Italian autostrada system at Savona. It brings Rome within six hours drive of Nice, and with ninety viaducts and sixty tunnels it is a mountain highway running high above the ground for most of its seventy miles.
First shown on BBC-2 at Easter, this is the story of how the Autostrada dei Fiori was built and what it will mean to holiday motorists from Britain.

by Brian Hayles
starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles
(Postponed from May 22)

Somewhat to his dismay, Tom Danby's latest girl-friend Alison Evesby turns out to be an active social worker. Her idea of an evening out is to paint up the wretched cottage of old-age pensioner Henry Burdock. Inspired by this good work on the part of her son, Sarah investigates and finds out that a projected old folks' home that Henry is waiting to enter is held up for lack of funds. The blame apparently rests with the Furness Rugby Club, whose grand raffle has swamped the other raffles in Furness, including the one that is to provide the funds for Henry's new home. What is to be done? Sarah decides to try a frontal attack on the Rugby Club. After all, which is more important to Henry, a couple of hours at a rugby match each week or a decent place to live? But does she stop to find out Henry's views on the matter?

'Exports' is the magic word which, so we are told, will cure our economic ills.
Christopher Brasher interviews the Chairman and Chief Executive of Britain's largest exporter

Last year's merger between British Motor Corporation and Leyland Motors produced a giant group, British Leyland Motors, which exports over £250-million worth of vehicles a year and holds over forty per cent of the home market in cars. They produce double-decker buses and the ubiquitous Mini; the lush Daimler and the sporty Jaguar. One man sits at the top of this group, controlling the merger, fitting together two competing companies into one group large enough to meet the competition of the giant American and Continental combines-the job which one newspaper described as 'The toughest job held by any boss in Britain.'
