A new housing estate often has its teething troubles; in particular the services provided may not be adequate to meet the needs of the new population. How can people first decide what they do need and then tell the authorities about these needs? And how in their turn can the authorities tell the residents what they can or cannot provide? David Hobman talks about these problems first to some of the residents of a new housing estate, then to their Community Development Officer. He discusses the issues with DAVID JONES of the National Institute for Social Work Training, and robin guthrie, Social
Development Officer to the New Town of Peterborough. Produced by ANN CALDWELL

For those who lived through the Second World War, the triumphant climax of Sir Winston Churchill's long and complex political career has tended to obscure the setbacks he faced in the years before 1940. Now a new generation of 20th-century historians is beginning the process of re-assessment.
DONALD MCLACHLAN discusses the controversial new study of Churchill's early career which is published today, and the questions it raises, with the author, ROBERT RHODES JAMES , former Fellow of All Souls, and biographer of Lord Randolph Churchill and Lord Rosebery. and two other contemporary historians. MARTIN GIL BERT, Fellow of Merton College. Oxford, who at the moment is working on the First World War volume of the biography of Churchill, and CAMERON HAZLEHURST. Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, who is writing a biography of Lloyd George. Produced by ANNE DUNCAN-JONES
