Five years ago a British manufacturer set out to develop a super car that could compete with the coveted creations of Europe. In 1966, code-named STAG, the project was started. Then in 1968 BBC cameras joined in to follow the meetings, the testing, the stopping and the starting.
Down on the shop floor, in with management during the decisions, the worry and the triumphs, tonight's film records the last two crucial years of STAG'S development-yet another attempt to create a 'dream car.'

Can a black American militant expect justice in his own country? What chance has the 'Minister of Defence' of the Black Panthers, in a middle-class, middle-West, American city, charged with resisting arrest, causing a disturbance and interfering with a police officer?
In this historic programme - the first full-length TV film of an actual trial taking place -you can see exactly what happened when Lauren R. Watson appeared before a six-man jury in his home town of Denver, Colorado, charged with these offences.
At first sight it seems like a mundane run-of-the-courtroom case, but, in fact, it is both crucial and important. First, because the facilities given to America's National Educational Television to overlook, and overhear, this trial provide a unique opportunity to study the workings of the jury system. Secondly, because it suggests that there may be a way for working out the tension and conflict of the us through existing legal processes.
The trial has all the drama of Perry Mason or The Defenders, only this time it is for real.
As well as the accused Lauren R. Watson and his accuser Police Officer Robert Cantwell, the principal characters are the young judge Zita Weinshienk, defence attorney Leonard Davies - a 28-year-old local lawyer - and the older, more experienced prosecutor Wright Morgan.
The trial is being shown on four consecutive nights starting tonight with the selection and examination of the jury.
Introduced by Robert MacNeil
