What will everyday life be like in, say, ten years' time?
Computers in the cowparlour, technicians in the barn. The countryside may still look cosy but behind the hedgerows there will be an industry using the best of modern science and engineering. New figures in the fields, though, mean new figures on the farm account books. What will be the price of advanced farming in Britain? ' Reporter and presenter George Luce

by R.D. Wingfield
with Pat Ashton as Kitty, Derek Francis as Stanley, Bob Hoskins as Harry
'No buts ... she's my stake. ... Her for a night against your pile..... Come on Kitty, smarten yourself up ... try to look as if you're worth the money..... You look more like the half-crown touch at the moment.' Stanley gets more than he'd bargained for in a 'friendly game of poker with Harry and his boys - but then, so does Harry.
(Bob Hoskins is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
