Gordon Wilkins covers the motoring news of the week with Maxwell Boyd, Michael Frostick, and Judith Jackson.

The 70 mph speed limit is to stay on motorways. Does it really make them safer, or is bad design to blame for more accidents? Birkenhead rejects meters and adopts free disc parking. Should other cities do the same? Derelict vehicles disfigure city streets. Is the answer more mobile car-crushers to turn them into scrap? A three-part enquiry into the motor car and its environment.

Presented by Rene Cutforth

On 6 March 1942 a secret radio operator working for the Dutch Resistance was captured by Major Herman Giskes of German Military Intelligence in Holland. This gave the Germans an unparalleled chance to smash the Dutch underground movement - and even, perhaps, discover the date set for the Allied invasion of Europe.
The resulting duel of wits between Giskes and his Dutch captive, Hubertus Lauwers, led to one of the most brilliant and desperate warnings in the history of secret messages.
