Themes from the 70s. A series of ten programmes 9: The Distant Dream
In 1970 the dream of the European Community was economic and monetary union by 1980. To the more idealistic, the enlargement of the Six to nine member-states in 1973 seemed to push Europe further towards the building of a United States of Europe. But the hopes and ideals that had so characterised the creation of the EEC faded and changed under the combined pressures of the world economic crisis, and, increasingly, a sense of loss of direction.
David Marquand talks to those who have helped to shape the Europe of the last ten years.

"The panacea for all human woes, the secret of happiness might now be bought for a penny and carried in the waistcoat pocket." (Thomas de Quincey)
In 19th-century England, opium was cheap, plentiful, and used by almost everyone. Writers used the drug to fire their imaginations; mothers fed it to teething babies; drinkers used it as a supplement to alcohol. It was a universal panacea - a popular cure for tooth-ache, migraine, rheumatism, ulcers and 'highly-strung' ladies - every age has its mothers' little helpers...
Sarah Dunant examines the use and abuse of opium in Victorian society.
