Behind Protective Walls?
As soaring imports continue to undermine efforts to revive vulnerable British industries, are calls to 'buy British' enough? Should we instead take firmer action to control the flood of imports. to rebuild our industries behind a wall of protective taxes and quotas? Would foreign retaliation then do more harm than good?
Donald MacCormick reports.

A series of ten new films about arts and crafts in Britain today. 2: Stephen Gottlieb
'One of the things that really makes me do it is the beauty of the instrument itself-almost apart from the sound of it.'
STEPHEN GOTTLIEB is a lute maker who trained as an architect. In his Clerkenwell workshop he puts together materials such as ebony, larch, sycamore and yew, and with gut, glue and nails produces an instrument that has changed little since the 16th century.

Investigates, Discovers, Questions This week: Film Biz
Why are there so few truly British films these days? Why is it that the French, the Swedes, the Germans and the Australians all have thriving indigenous film industries while British film-makers are reduced to turning out movies for the moguls of Hollywood?
In the 1960s, British films were box-office hits around the world, and American investment flooded the studios. Then the economic tide flowed in the other direction and for most of the 70s the British film industry was high and dry. Now it's picking itself up again and going for the big time.
But what will the industry of the 80s produce? Gavin Scott has been talking to the producers, the money men and the studio chiefs who decide what happens when the cameras start to turn.
