Carol Chell and guests say Hallo Again with songs, games and play ideas.
Paper games and paper tricks, With glue and tape, a cut-out sticks.
Squeeze it, squash it, what a caper,
Fold it, fly it, those things of paper.

Motivating people to improve their work and working life is a full-time job. Suggestion schemes, with financial rewards for good ideas, are highly thought of, but some firms believe that quality circles, which don't usually pay, are a better solution.
To what extent does money control the system?
Should workers be rewarded for good ideas, or should it be partofthejob?

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford
Introduced by Jimmy Hill with Lawrie McMenemy and Trevor Brooking
Television's first full-length examination of two of the game's glamour clubs since they came under new management.

DAVID PLEAT moving in to the big city spotlight after an eight-year spell with Luton Town.
Despite their problems,
Manchester United remain one of Britain's best-supported clubs. Like the new manager, their fans are looking for an improvement in form that will lead to a steady climb up the table. Commentator

Five programmes written and presented by Michael Wood 3: The Town
When the Normans conquered England in 1066, they inherited the richest land in Europe, a land already bustling with towns. Michael Wood journeys through England, and finds the Middle Ages in the shadow of St Paul's
Cathedral, London, in the great market at Salisbury and in the rich medieval wool towns of East Anglia. On the Welsh borders he discovers the Norman frontier towns that died and looks for the exuberant town life of Totnes in the 18th century, and Manchester in the 19th, a town then described as being 'as great a human exploit as Athens'. But towns rise and towns fall. Why? As the industrial dream of our great Victorian cities fades, is there a future for towns at all? Photography HENRY FARRAR Film editor AMANDA SMITH

Many of us will buy our
Christmas with credit cards, and sort out the payments in the New Year. Credit is easy to get and it's on the increase. But for some people, credit is a nightmare. At worst, people lose their homes, their marriages and even their will to live.
Martin Young reports on the phenomenon of credit, and examines the morality of it. Ought lenders to give us so much credit? Or ought we to discipline ourselves? Film editor CHRIS LYSAGHT Researcher ALISON HILLIARD Producer PATTI STEEPLES Director CARRIE THOMAS
