A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives

Tonight: North and South
It's easy to find reasons for leaving the North - all too often the work is dirty and hard, and unemployment pay never yet paid off a mortgage. But when you're safely installed in a warm Southern factory, doubling your money on a conveyer belt, the chances are you're less likely to find a neighbour who's only a cuppa away, or the warmth of the clubs and pubs.
This, then, is the dilemma facing those who move South: is more brass and less muck a fair exchange for what they leave behind? Would you swap your friends for a fiver a week more? Man Alive this week takes a look at roots and attitudes in the other England - the unfashionable North and those who leave it. There's a woman from the South who went to live in the North - and hates it, because, she says, they eat fish and chips off sauce-pan lids all the time. The mill girls in Bury, Lancs, had a short answer to that. And there's a ship-breaker from the North who went South for more money and cleaner air-and discovered that they weren't all snobs behind privet hedges.

Four days before the World Cup opens in Mexico, a look at the tensions and pressures of contemporary football at the top. Leeds United, favourites for three of soccer's most coveted trophies, the European Cup, FA Cup, and League Championship, saw them slip away one by one in the final month of the season.
After winning the Football League Championship in 1968-69 with a record number of points, but only 66 goals, Leeds switched to an attacking policy and became one of Britain's most attractive and talented teams.
They seemed so invincible, that as Easter approached bookmakers offered odds of only 5-1 against their bringing off the treble; why did they fail? We see Leeds playing, training, and trying to relax while moving from one disaster to another.
In tonight's programme we accompany manager Don Revie and his team through those final, dramatic weeks.
