The Labour councillors there face the prospect of being made personally bankrupt., of putting the rates up by something like 50 per cent, and of cutting services.
Reporter Philip Tibenham has been following the arguments, demonstrations, open rows and disruptions from the inside, as the councillors struggled to come to terms with being the 'Last of the Big Spenders'.

Bored by domesticity and a seemingly disinterested husband, Julie decides, after ten years of marriage that her life needs spicing up. She turns to her friend Maggie for advice and embarks on a series of ' adventures' which are more fanciful than real. Only when she encounters a real affair does she question her involvement with other men ...
