Presented by Anna Ford with Craig Charles
Can television be justly accused of supplying the 'oxygen of publicity' to terrorism? Or is it an easy scapegoat?
Tonight's Network assesses the dilemmas terrorism poses for television, particularly in recent weeks during the controversy over the RUC's request for film of the Milltown and Andersonstown murders and the mass media pursuit of the hijacked
Kuwaiti airliner around the Middle East. Viewers and some of the broadcasters involved in the decisions such events dictate will debate the issues, following a film made by Michael Yardley , a freelance writer and photographer specialising in terrorism and security. 'Terrorism may make dramatic TV, but, apart from providing propaganda for fanatical groups who have abandoned reason along with their doubts, it also turns the bombarded viewer into a psychological casualty.'

'What's happening now is that a few people in power are robbing this country of our natural heritage - oil, coal, railways, national health, everything.'

In 1986 the historic Swindon Workshops, the heart of Brunel's Great Western
Railway, joined the growing list of closed factories. Once Swindon's products were world famous, its 14,000 employees justly proud of their skills. But, having accepted massive redundancies and reorganisation in the long fight to save their works, most survivors had to join the dole queues.
Just before closure was announced, Peter Brown visited Swindon to see what survived of the old GWR spirit. Later he returned to find a bitter and disillusioned workforce. (R)
