A series of six programmes which gives talented amateurs the chance of their dreams - to take part in a spectacular professional event.
Reporter Norma Shepherd
Tim Davey is a law student, his hobby is go-karting - he dreamed of becoming a racing driver. He never thought that dream would come true. We gave him the chance of competing in a professional race at Brands Hatch. We watched him train for four months, practise with Mark Thatcher, and meet his heroes: James Hunt, Stirling Moss, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve. In the end, we watched him risk his life in his first big race.

2: A Band of Brothers
The film which won the Royal Television Society's Supreme Award for the Best Documentary of 1979. At the very heart of Afrikanerdom is a secret society of which virtually nothing is known outside South Africa. It is called the Broederbond, or brotherhood. Its 12,000 members operate in the shadows, dedicated to keeping the Afrikaner in the position of power he holds today and which they have helped secure.
The film tells the story of the Broederbond and with it the rise of the Afrikaner Nationalists. It is the story of the bitter legacy of the Anglo-Boer War when thousands of women and children died in the British concentration camps; the story of the discrimination Afrikaners faced when they sought work in the English-run cities. But will the Broederbond. because of its exclusiveness, now lead to the destruction of the very people it set out to protect?
