A series of six programmes 2: Countess Constance Markievicz
Irish nationalist and revolutionary
Remembering the ease and delicate pleasantness to which she was born, such a death seems pitiful; but remembering her own choice of life's values, there seems something in it right and inevitable.
(DOROTHY MACARDLE, FRIEND) Bom Constance Gore Booth in 1868 she had a conventional Victorian childhood. Her life expresses a journey from the privileged world of the Anglo Irish to the suffering of Irish
Nationalism. She took an active part in the Easter Rising, was condemned to death but was released in a general amnesty in 1917. She served several prison terms and died in the public ward of a hospital among the poorest of Dublin's poor. Presented by Hugh Sykes Researcher MIKE WOOLF

A series of four programmes 2: The Workers
Everyday family life - Dad working, Mum working, children on the YTS - is visibly, unmistakably prosperous.
Not-so-everyday family life on a single pay packet, on social security, takes place on the wrong side of a growing gulf between the Joneses and the non-Joneses.
Is the Government responsible, directly or indirectly, for this growing wealth gap? What's boosting incomes when the trade unions are shadows of their former powerful selves and new jobs are frequently part-time and often badly paid? Mary Goldring takes evidence from families in and out of work, from an opinion poll commissioned by Analysis and from the official record. Producer DAVID MORTON
