What effect have successive waves of immigration made on the economic life of Britain?
With the arrival of the East African Asians, Money at Work considers whether immigration has put Britain in the red or in the black. Has the contribution by the West Indians, Africans and Asians, by their labour, services and taxes, been outweighed by what they get from the Welfare State?

David Franklin confesses
...I sometimes think I really don't belong

'The only thing worth having,' David Franklin asserts, 'is something you've worked to get and can take pride in.' Words and music have been the cornerstones of Franklin's life and on these he built two brilliant careers, first as an opera singer and then as a broadcaster.
Two formal institutions, Cambridge and Glyndebourne, formed the man and fashioned his attitudes - a respect for fine sounds and a passionate belief in proud, old-fashioned things like dignity and manners; but the very disciplines he learned there have made him intolerant of the modern world 'with its greed for material things the easy way.'

Colin Welland and Ian Wooldridge: The actor-playwright and the sportswriter-of-the-year taking their fresh look at sport.

Welland meets... Rodney! Rodney!
Rodney Marsh, £200,000 Manchester City and England forward. Is he a world-class player... or just a fancy-dan ball juggler?

Wooldridge meets... Trevillion - talented, tasteless or...?
'A lunatic? A lot of people say so, but in 50 years I'll be the strongest force, art-wise, in the world' - Paul Trevillion, acclaimed for his sports drawings, attacked for portraying Evonne Goolagong and Princess Anne in the nude.
