A series of five new films which concentrate on a few hours of intense activity.
On 22 June 1972 Mrs Elizabeth Hibbert was to move from her cottage in Oxfordshire to No 11 Allingham Street, Islington, London, Nl. On the same day, to make way for her, The Bassett Family were to move out of No 11 Allingham Street to their new home across the road, No 10.

Yet this strange mixed-marriage of government still seems to work - at least for the Europeans.
Jim Douglas Henry and a Man Alive team make their own entente with Dominique Viard and French Television.
