At home in Buckinghamshire, filming with Joe Losey in Spain, and rehearsing a Broadway musical in New York, Hawthornden prizewinner Robert Shaw talks outspokenly, and as honestly as he can, of his attitudes to writing and of his future as a serious novelist while under the self-imposed pressures of big money film-acting.
Workers or shareholders... Wages or profits... Militancy or consultations...
Two men from both sides of the industrial fence, Alf Avison, Peterborough District Secretary of the TGWU, and Richard Beecham, Chairman of Combex Ltd, have each made a film about the factory with which they are both concerned.

Brian Redhead chairs the programme as Avison and Beecham see one another's viewpoints.
