The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public. Tonight:
The London Cycling Campaign present Blazing Pedals
' Our programme takes a cheerful and witty glance at a much-ignored but rapidly-growing form of transport - the proud and humble bicycle. More people bike to work than go by all the railways in Britain combined - so why aren't there better facilities for them? We show what could be done and how and why the bicycle is not the vehicle of the past, but of the present ... and in an oil-scarce society of the future.'

A Personal Statement by Milton Friedman
2: The Tyranny of Control
The value of the pound is so high that company bosses say they cannot export. At the same time, imports of consumer goods get cheaper and cheaper, forcing many manufacturing companies towards the brink of bankruptcy. So what should the Government do?
' Nothing,' says Professor Friedman, ' Great Britain became great because she adopted policies of Free Trade.'
MILTON FRIEDMAN argues his case against central planning and control in a special film report from India, Japan and Britain. And in the studio Peter Jay chairs a discussion between Milton Friedman and his opponents.
