Congress and the Supreme Court, still gives its citizens their rights.
On Constitution Day, Jonathan Steinberg , American-born
Cambridge historian, reports on a voyage of rediscovery. The way policemen arrest criminals, judges run schools, women can have abortions - nothing, he finds, is beyond the reach of the Constitution.

Jenny Danks talks to a variety of women (and the occasional man) about how they organise their lives at home, at play and at work.

Threatened with the prospect of residential care. Rod and Gill Surrage , a young couple, both disabled, piece together the story of their struggle to find adequate help to enable them to remain at home and in the community. It is a story that reflects the anomalies and ignorance which exist at every level and which all disabled people striving to remain independent, or to obtain their independence, must encounter and overcome.
