The first programme of a second series in which current and controversial issues are put on trial before Dick Taverne, QC and an audience of jurors in Broadcasting House.
This evening's proposition:
Free Collective Bargaining Should be Restored from 1 August 1977.
It is proposed by Clive Jenkins, General Secretary of Associated Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs, and opposed by Tom Jackson, General Secretary of the Union of Post Office Workers.
Each advocate will call his witnesses, cross-question his opponent's, and argue his case. The jury will vote at the beginning and end of the trial so that a swing of opinion may be measured and a verdict reached.
The antidote to panel games with Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and William Rushton on the sofas, Humphrey Lyttelton in the chair, and Colin Sell on the piano stool.
This listing contains language that some may find offensive.
