The arena at Earls Court is turned into a race track upon which lady drivers are seeking to prove that they really are better than the men. In this second visit to the show, girls from all three armed services, driving Minicars, are matched in a needle contest with their male comrades, who are in Land Rovers. The men have one small handicap: they have to blow up a bridge en route. Other items: the educated guard dogs of the R.A.F. in a display of obedience, the splendidly-clad cannoneers of the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery in their musical drive.

Directed by Johnny Pearson
That a DJ's life is busy is axiomatic, but Tony Blackburn's whirlwind existence is possibly more fraught than most. Apart from his regular early morning stint on Radio 1, Tony is kept busy racing from one end of the country to the other in his speedy scarlet roadster. One day he will be opening a new supermarket or judging a fashion show, the next lending his services to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles
A hundred men are sacked from a major Furness plant. Another three hundred are threatened with the loss of their jobs in a couple of months' time. This has serious consequences in an area of underemployment like Furness. Will Tarrant, George Kingston, and Sarah Danby each react to the situation in their own way and their respective attitudes typify much of the malaise of Britain today. Perhaps even more telling, though, is the way that author Alan Plater has depicted the reactions of the main sufferers of the event, one of the sacked men - Jameson - and his wife.

When she was eighteen, Jocelyn Secchi wanted to be an actress. Her father is a solicitor, her mother runs a hairdressing business, and they live in a cottage near Lymington in the New Forest. Jocelyn was educated at a convent, a boarding school, and finally a grammar school. She could, perhaps, have gone to university, but chose instead to do a drama course at a College of Technology, in Portsmouth. She was bored with Lymington, found it difficult to make friends there. During the past year she has lived in digs, has met new people. She is a Roman Catholic - but believes in sex before marriage; she gets on well with her parents - but no longer wants to live at home. She is attractive and is nineteen, and she has spent a year beginning to learn to be independent.
