7.30 Growth and Play: 8: Working Together
A series of ten programmes.

As children mature at Infants' School, they reach a stage where they are able to collaborate, to plan ahead, and to take responsibility for more complex projects. They are better able to express themselves in words and turn more readily to books. Their powers of observation become very sharp and they are able to check and record their observations. This forms the beginnings of scientific method.
Molly Brearley, Principal of the Froebel Institute of Education
Introduced by Tony Gibson.
First transmission on BBC-1, May 24, 1964

8.30 Clearway for Transport: 3: Accounting for Roads
A series of five programmes reflecting current thinking on the problems of road and rail transport in Britain.

9.0 The Arab World: 6: The Struggle for Independence
Ninety million people in search of a future.
A series of eight programmes outlining historical and other factors affecting their choice.

In 1918 the victorious Allies drew boundaries across the map of the Middle East to mark out 'spheres of influence'. Their influence, political and cultural, continued and was not to be wholly expunged by the winning of independence. The boundaries mostly remain, though President Nasser, for one, would like to see them blurred. New influences are in the ascendant.
