As the 1984 polo season comes to a close, Peter Churchill looks at the evolution of the game from its beginnings in ancient times to the hard and fast professional sport of today. Since the days of the Raj, polo has been regarded as an elitist pastime. But this myth is exploded by the people from many walks of life who are involved in the modern game.
Leading players, team managers and trainers and some of the growing band of enthusiasts from the worlds of business and entertainment discuss the techniques, thrill and fascination of one of the oldest ball games in the world.

3: I'm All Right, Jack!
The emergence of the sunrise industries in Britain has led to new styles of worker representation, featuring, in some cases, the controversial 'no-strike' agreements. At the same time, other firms manage without any unions at all; either offering good pay and conditions or simply exploiting the workers. Nick Clarke looks at some of the alternatives to traditional organised labour, and at the trade unions' efforts to adjust to new management approaches.
