Written by Ray Cameron, Barry Cryer, Kenny Everett

Hi! Kenny Everett here with a personal message to all you out there in viewing land! Now, I don't want to prejudice you in any way about tonight's show but please remember I love animals and children and I have mortgaged my house and my wife so that you can see tonight's show in colour. The BBC thought black and white was more me but I fought them to the last bribe. So why not watch me - gentleman, scholar and all round good egg - tonight. (Do you think they'll swallow that?)

Sir Peter Parker , Chairman of the British Railways Board, gives the 11th in this series of annual lectures before an invited audience at the Royal Society of Arts in London.
Missing Our Connections
Tonight SIR PETER PARKER examines the relationship between
Government, Industry and Democracy and finds that we are ' missing our connections'.
He analyses Britain's industrial decline and describes the damage the politics of our democracy can cause to the sensible development of industrial policy.
He sees dangers to democracy in industrial decline, the prospect of a divided people and the creation of two nations.
He remains an optimist and produces his own ideas of how Britain could once again achieve industrial health.
Introduced by George Howard , Chairman of the BBC
Director pieter morpurco Producer JEREMY BENNErr
(Sir Peter Parker 's lecture will be published in THE LISTENER of 7 April)

Five programmes on Britain's elderly population.
2: An Ageing Nation
The over-60s in Britain are now nearly a fifth of the whole population. In the second of five personal views, Eric Midwinter , Director of the Centre for Policy on Ageing, considers how and why this change in the structure of the population has taken place. He argues that the idea of a fixed retirement age has ' institutionalised ' old age. People are varied, but the rules governing retirement are rigid.'
Producer ROGER OWEN
