Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

Do motor manufacturers spend enough on research? Are profits ploughed back into making better cars? How does a motor firm keep one jump ahead in the race to be first on the market with a new model? Wheelbase investigates at Fords' new £10 million Research and Engineering Centre at Dunton in Essex, opened yesterday by the Prime Minister, where a top-secret team of six thousand people are designing and testing the cars of 1970 today.

A film about Dafydd Edwardes of Penuwch.

Penuwch is a tiny village in the uplands of Cardiganshire, its inhabitants firmly rooted in Welshness. Dafydd Edwardes, septuagenarian with the style of an aristocrat, who farms in the village, is conscious and proud of this Welshness, so much so that even the animals on his farm have to be of Welsh stock.
