Introduced by Sue MacGregor Moving House: It wasn't a big move as moves go. Just a family of four with all the usual furniture, one or two antiques, and a rather heavy safe. All it needed was careful planning and good organisation. But there's always something.... JEAN SNEDEGAR reports. Bad Company (8)

A series of five programmes which profiles the nations of the United Kingdom in all their aspects.
1: Northern Ireland
This programme provides a remarkable insight into the daily life of the people of Northern Ireland. Despite the impression gained from over 16 years of news coverage of violence and death, life for most is a very ordinary affair. Imagine your family had to move to this part of the nation. What sort of life would you expect to find waiting? What might the schools, the social life, job prospects, or the medical services be like? David Dunseith examines the true state of this part of the nation.
