If the economy catches a cold Merseyside gets pneumonia-with complications! Merseyside has consistently the worst unemployment figures in industrial Britain: and a record for poor labour relations that is hardly rivalled. What is wrong with the Merseyside worker? Does he fit his image of being lazy, unwilling and militant? Or is Merseyside the graveyard of bad management?
Introduced by Barry Askew
Based on the novel by Hermann Sudermann
Written for television in five parts by Robert Muller
In the midst of hectic enjoyment of the bohemian life, Lilli has recognised in Konrad her ideal. She has encouraged his attentions, although she is still under Richard's protection.
The average British viewer watches 19 hours of TV a week, which means as much as eight continuous years during his lifetime. In the 25 years that broadcasting has existed it has become a national pastime. But the next 25 years could see an even greater revolution, if some American television experiments succeed. Now, by piping TV to homes, by having special terminals for the viewer, TV shows can be produced in which the whole viewing audience participates.
Cable TV can give us computer use in the home and even tele-visits from our local doctor - the possibilities seem endless. Following a film report, a studio discussion looks at the future possibilities of television in this country.
In the third programme of this series about the writer's world, Lord David Cecil visits Chawton, the Hampshire village where Jane Austen wrote "Mansfield Park", "Emma" and "Persuasion".
