On The Move
Some families need to change their homes, schools, friends and a whole way of living, quite frequently. The demands of working in oil companies, the Armed Forces, the Diplomatic Corps, and other careers sometimes call for considerable family upheavals.
Molly Price-Owen looks into the effects on a young person's life and tries to discover how serious the consequences are of losing a home and settling in another, leaving friends and making others, departing from one school routine and its teachers to another, and moving from one environment to a new one - not once, but successively.

The new media are the real world and they shape what remains of the old world at will. (MARSHALL MCLUHAN) John Tusa links men of action in politics, business and the sciences for a free exchange of experience and opinion on topics of global concern. Producer KEITH HINDELL
An unemployed engineering executive is being interviewed for a job. During the discussions a crisis occurs on the shop floor. The candidate is asked what he would do. He goes to the workshops, puts on a white coat, sizes up the problem, works out the solution. Result, satisfied workers, dissatisfied interview board. Managers do not put on overalls. No job. Margaret Korving follows the stories of three of today's job-seekers: a redundant executive hoping for a fresh start; a young graduate looking for a relevant job; and a school-leaver with not-so-brilliant O-levels. Is their predicament solely due to the country's economic plight, or are other factors at work?
