Beneath 29 villages In the peaceful vale of Belvoir lies one of the richest finds in Europe - ten thousand million pounds worth of black gold. Should It be left there as the Midland villagers argue for a 'rainy day' when need is proven; or should the National Coal Board have its way now and fulfil its Plans for Coal for the Future?
In the second series of Time for Action, Roger Cook and Moyra Bremner take sides on the issue and hear the arguments of those who fear the worst, and those who hope for better.

A novel without a hero by William Makepeace Thackeray, dramatised for radio in ten parts by Michael Kittermaster

In which our heroine Becky takes up her post as governess to Sir Pitt Crawley's daughters at Queen's Crawley, and in which the Manager of the Performance, the Puppet Master, introduces us to the various personages of the noble house of Crawley. What is a poor orphan to do but to win the hearts of such members of the family who are rich enough or influential enough to deserve their inclusion in the booths of Vanity Fair?
