The last of three programmes investigating the so-called microelectronics revolution.
And What of the Future?
How will the silicon chip affect the quality of our lives and our attitudes to work?
Starting in America, Bernard Falk visits places already using the new technology to find out what could be in store for white collar, blue collar and professional workers in the next decade. What kinds of jobs will change or disappear? Are there areas where employment will increase? What will be the effects on the professions? How must our attitudes change if we are to enjoy the benefits of this new revolution and not suffer its worst effects?
Production DAVID ALLEN and ROBERT ALBURY

Climb Every Mountain or Nothing Succeeds Like Failure
"Failure can be fun' is the motto of self-confessed failures David McGillivray and Stephen Pile (above-if RADIO TIMES had only been able to take a picture of him).
McGillivray was commissioned to write a book about failure but failed to write it; Pile's Book of Heroic Failures has got into the best-sellers list. This unlucky break has resulted in Pile being thrown out of the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain, which he founded.
Among others they meet-GEOFF O'NEILL, author of 519 unpublished songs; MIRIAM HARGRAVE , veteran of 39 driving tests; LT-CDR BILL BOAKS , who has lost his deposit at 21 by-elections, and JAN TAIGEN , who scored no points whatsoever in the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest.
Reginald Bosanquet will be reading from the Book of Heroic Failures.

The film version of the hit stage musical, with its famous song ' The impossible dream'. Cast into the infamous dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, author Miguel de Cervantes finds that his life is in danger, not simply from the torturers but from his fellow prisoners. In a desperate attempt to gain time he acts out his irreverent book, the stirring adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha, which led to his arrest.
