A monthly series in which Outside Broadcast and film cameras tell how one incident can change one person's life.

Mark Rea, who was with the Royal Marine Commandos during the war, tells how he wrecked his life and then ran out of a pub one night into a different world. Here he rebuilt his own life and learned to help others to rebuild theirs.
Tonight in an Outside Broadcast from shanties on a rubbish dump in the North of England he introduces Hywel Davies to some of the extremely cheerful people who are his friends and to other lonely and friendless men who refuse all help.

This film, the third in a series made in co-operation with the Civic Trust, tells the story of one man's efforts to save an otherwise lovely road from ruin. 'The Pembury Road could be as fine as a Duke's drive', says Walter Coltham, who is fighting the muddle and indifference which are threatening its appearance. In this sense the Pembury Road stretches a long way - from Land's End to John o' Groats.
Introduced by Douglas Jones.
