A series of ten documentary films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.
There are only two ways of meeting Radley College's school fees. You either pay for it all yourself, or you get someone else to pay it for you. For if boy is exceptionally gifted, the College will give him a scholarship, worth full fees, or a part thereof. Accordingly, parents who cannot afford £3,000 per annum attend to their sons brains, voices and personalities before sending them off on the Public School circuit, finely honed to catch the eye of academic and music staffs alike.
In this film, the Precentor of Radley Anthony Dowlen, trawls for talent in a shoal of prep-school boys, who are competing for music scholarships worth £20,000.

' Valiant, wrathful, utterly pagan people' is how the Vikings were described by one of their Irish victims. Certainly they spread terror throughout Europe, but they also spread ideas, skills and great craftsmanship, revealed in the Vikings exhibition which opened to the public at the British Museum today.
In tonight's outside broadcast, Magnus Magnusson visits the exhibition in the company of Dr
David Wilson, Director of the British Museum, and originator of this unique display of Viking life and times.

This evening: Centre of Unemployment presented by Newcastle Trades Council Centre for the Unemployed
'Today in Britain more than 1,300,000 people are unemployed. In Newcastle, ten per cent of the working population are without a job. Are the unemployed "work shy"? Are they scrounging off the state? We show how workers have battled to keep their jobs and how once they've become unemployed the fight continues with the formation of a union for unemployed workers.'
