Tonight: The Disc Jockeys
Radio 1 is wonderful. Or so the jingles say. And the stars of this two-year-old, all pop, wonderland, are the Disc Jockeys - more than a score of them. Theirs is one of the most exclusive and competitive jobs in the country - at any rate in the field of tinsel. Their counterparts in the United States are sometimes super-stars, idols themselves, on a par with the Rolling Stones or the Beatles, whose discs they plug.
But what of our home-grown variety? Are they super-stars or giant dwarfs? Merely spinners of discs churning out candy-floss rubbish? Or influential leaders broadcasting to millions of youngsters at their most impressionable age? What is their role in the vast big-beat music industry?
Man Alive talked to, and followed, five Disc Jockeys: Tony Blackburn, Kenny Everett, John Peel, Rosko, Jimmy Young - watched them at work; at play; examining their influence and their position in the pop world.

Tonight, the second part of Europa's look at the nomadic masses of humanity who fill the vacancies in Europe's booming industries.
Complete mobility of labour is the eventual aim of the Common Market. But already many factories in the Common Market contain a staggeringly high proportion of foreign workers. But what problems do they bring? How eventually will they affect the face of Europe?
Europa looks at these questions with the aid of the cameras of European television.

What is the sense in being superior if you can't take advantage of it once in a while. Take the dinosaur. It stands to reason that if it had not been inferior to the human being it wouldn't be extinct.
