Barrie Gill and Gordon Wilkins visit the London Motor Show with Maxwell Boyd, Michael Frostick and Judith Jackson.
Why are there no new British cars at the Motor Show? Strikes have postponed the Triumph Dolomite and at least three other new models. Manufacturers are against an annual show because it costs too much. Millions are being switched from the introduction of new cars to making existing ones conform to American ideas on road safety. An outside broadcast enquiry, direct from Earls Court, into the mystery of the missing cars.

Tonight's film in this season of British films by some of the distinguished directors and writers who brought a new style to the cinema in the 60s
Starring Tom Courtenay with Julie Christie

Billy Fisher's real world is bounded by a dull Northern town, a job as clerk in an undertaker's office, a quarrelsome relationship with his parents and a potentially explosive one with two girls to whom he has simultaneously become engaged. A compulsive liar, Billy is also ruler of his own fantasy kingdom of Ambrosia, to which he retreats when circumstances become too much for him -which is often.
Tom Courtenay plays Billy in this adaptation by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall of their play.
