A quarterly report on the world of unemployment with Brian Redhead.
During 1985 the number of people wanting a job in Britain has continued to grow. Jobs are being created, but most of them are part-time, more attractive to women than to men. At the same time, there have been calls at work for greater flexibility, better management and less regulation. What are the realities behind all the rhetoric? Brian Redhead reviews this year's developments and looks forward to 1986, designated Industry Year.

1: The Royalist and the Republican
The death of the King of France did not mean that the Royalists were dead, and in Brittany the people were willing to lay down their lives in the fight to reestablish the monarchy. For two people at least their political beliefs came to be at terrible odds with their personal feelings.

Twenty-five years ago two teachers at Kettering Grammar School in Northamptonshire began recording bleeps from Russian satellites. Over the years, pupils became more and more skilful at tracking Soviet space shots, often making dramatic announcements which scooped the newspapers of the world and embarrassed the Russians.
In conversation with Patrick Moore , the former head of physics at the school
Geoffrey Perry , now retired, describes how they did it, and why studying satellites made science fun.
