Paymasters of Europe?
Today the leaders of the nine Common Market states meet in Dublin. Top of their agenda is Britain's complaint that membership is costing too much, and that we are rapidly becoming the paymasters of Europe.
Donald MacCormick looks at the wider background of the current row, and assesses the economic gains and losses of our six years in the EEC.

Tom Finney
Who would you name as England's greatest footballer-Keegan, Charlton, Matthews or perhaps Finney? Many experts believe that TOM FINNEY was the greatest player of them all. Tom won 76 England caps and played his club football at Preston, his home town. Desmond Lynam has been talking to the ' Preston Plumber ' who retired from football 25 years ago when he was earning just £20 a week, the maximum wage. Film editor HEFNY ZAKI Producer JEFF GODDARD

As Civil Aviation celebrates its 60th year, this series of seven programmes examines the impact of air travel on ourselves and the world we live in. Presented by Julian Pettifer
5: Travelling for Fun
Seven out of every ten people who fly are on holiday. Most pleasure-seekers are on package deals chasing the same ' unspoilt ' beaches, beauty spots, and places of interest. What does. air travel mean to them and to the places they visit? What is the social impact of millions of package air tourists descending on countries, large and small, developed and underdeveloped?
Travelling for Fun examines the advantages and disadvantages of mass air-tourism in a variety of spectacular and unusual locations, and questions a wide cross-section of people around the world about that dread subject ' tourist pollution '.
