A second chance to see this comprehensive documentary film on the explosive growth of road and air transport in Britain since the second world war.
In the past 25 years the traffic on our roads has grown by five times and the number of passengers passing through our airports has multiplied by 50. When a future historian comes to write the history of life in Britain during the second half of the 20th century he will find that those two familiar vehicles, the car and the aeroplane, have had a more radical influence on our lives than any other of the innovations which we call progress. This programme is a sort of television notebook to help him, while most of the visual evidence is still around.

Introduced by Cliff Morgan.
A victory by nine points to five over France a year ago in Paris clinched the Five Nations Championship Title and the "Grand Slam" for Wales. With the encouragement of their recent resounding victory over England, France come to Cardiff to beat Wales at their own game: possession up front, good handling, and running from the backs.
The capacity crowd at the National Rugby Stadium know they will see a hard, adventurous, spirited match with the exciting balance of individual flair and great team-work.
